....obvioulsy chuffed either way, but Spritz, is this labled correctly would you say, as the picture looks far more orangey than the plant, this was the only rainbow suprise on the shelf the other one was 'fire dance' very simular in colour but smaller leaves had a job choosing to be honest, but know i don't have room for both, so went with this one, do the leaves get more orangey? cos this will decide where i plant, also am i safe to plant now, i know it's a bit on the tender side, and i currently in the greenhouse, but greenhouse not fully frost proof, thinking might be better off in the ground with fleece? the weather has been a bit milder last few days, still heavy frost in the morning, but gone by mid day and ground soft and digable, what do you think? also the label not giving much info - all in dutch, i am thinking of an area, that gets quite a lot of afternoon sun in the summer, but in shade most of the day during winter what do you think? thanks. xx

Sorry - I put some advice on the next photo. If it is 'Rainbow Surprise', don't worry about the label. They don't have green leaves. I wouldn't plant it now - give it some protection in the greenhouse and plant in the spring. Mine are in a west facing area - so a bit shaded in the morning and then in sun. They definitely need a sheltered corner. it was my fault that I lost one last year - too exposed and I didn't give it protection.
Next winter, while it's still young, you should fleece it or pop a cloche over it. Once they get stronger and bigger they seem to be less 'delicate'.
