    The plants seem to vary greatly in the ratio of green to deep purple.
    Some plants were as much as 90% dark and others look like the photo I took -- about 50/50.

    VERY curly, large round (slightly curved) lobes. Long purple/violet/vivid-red-purple leaves, with lime-green/light-greem variegation... In sections, or just in the center like regular.
