This plant is outside and it's quite prolific but I've never seen a red leaf before. I'm curious if anyone else has seen this. It's even brighter red in person

No.

Have had very similar but no that one.

Nice looking plant.

Curious to see what that leaf does when it matures.

Is it an old leaf or a new leaf?

It happens on mine all the time. It's either dying, unlikely with how nice your plant looks, or new.

I have found that coffee, tea, and rose can all agree on one thing... water everyday.
