It doesn't exactly look like HVX. ken says don't try to diagnose it in the late summer.

I would fertilize it, which might very well be the problem. (I have one that looks kind of weird like that and that's what I intend to do.)

If it still looks like that in the spring, then it's HVX.

though.. to be fair.. thats what i would have said before chris took over the chairmanship ... before he abandoned us ... rat fink ...

library says its supposed to have pauls glory like coloration ... yours doesnt seem to..

which then means.. to me.. its probably not PUDC .... so who knows what is proper

Two thoughts: 1. mine does the same thing, 2. needs a bit more sun, maybe the spot Designer Genes is soon going to vacate?

I read somewhere about how this can happen in young plants when they don't have enough of a root system to take up sufficient nutrients. Adding fertilizer might not help, but giving it time might.

It has the slight green edge. I would guess it's PUD. Look at the photos in the HL. If it had more sun to fade the centers and had enough nutrients, it could very well look like the PUD in the HL.

after reading your post I went out to take a look at mine..mine have some funny leaves too!..

if they've always been like that I never noticed..

Uh huh. ;-)

Looks like PUDC to me. I'd give it another year before doing anything unless you want to move it in DGs place. More sun would help, but it really doesn't need much to brighten up the centers.
