I need to start remembering to plant 'Alabama Sunset,' starting with next year, where it gets mostly shade, so I will get the deeper and richer look of the leaves.
I don't really like the faded look of the leaves that get mostly sun.

Faded badly last year in a lot of sun. Color was much nicer this year with more shade than sun.
