Question from
Katrine
Hi
I ordered three of these Golden Ring shrubs which have just arrived. They are very dull in colour and there's not even a hint of the golden ring on any of the leaves. Should the golden ring be present all the time, or just during certain months?
I'm so disappointed.
Thanks
Katrine
