I believe this is called something like "sango-fu." Correct me if I'm wrong. I really like this look and I wanted to know what you all thought about some varieties with this type of variegation... I found a Masukagami, which has some very nice spring color, but when does the variegation emerge... I'd assume part shade would be a good choice to protect the variegation in the heat of the summer??? thanks again everyone...
