Just noticed how nice the petioles look on this Vivacious.

Beautiful plant Carol. Mine didn't stay streaked and went to a white margin like Delicious.

Could you get a top view of your plant.

Here is mine in mid-August.

Interesting Ed. If anything, I'd say mine will go to a green edge.

Very attractive plants and I love the red. I have a small Vivacious that is still nicely streaked and hopefully it will flower next year as I would love to start hybridizing again.

My Vivacious yesterday - more of an edge than streaky.

I separated a very streaky section last year and it is again very streaky this year. My original has a couple of sections of all green that I will separate soon.
