Daft question but why is it called RED dragon?

I think it might be because the foliage is red, Ian - looks that way in the photo to me :)

Have you seen this plant, Ian? It has a silvery chevron mark on each leaf. It's a beautiful plant! You grow it for the foliage, of course. :-)

It's raining Angie - not a lot, (drizzle again!) but enough to stop me clambering around in the flower bed.
