The buds start to intensify in color as they develop, gradually transforming into a deep pink when fully open. These flowers are a true feast for the eyes and attract bees and butterflies to the garden.

Depending on the lighting conditions, the leaves can take on a range of colors, including pink, copper, orange, yellow, and bright red. This makes it a great addition to any autumn garden or landscape.
