The one in the Bluestone catalogue is 'Purpurea' and the description says
"deepest chocolate colored foliage." May or may not be 'Atropurpurea' --
some catalogue folks don't always understand the subtleties of cultivar
names. I'll order some and if it turns out to be the same thing I've
already got ('Firecracker') then I'm only out a few bucks.
