I know what you mean. My Mrs Bradshaw have all come up red as usual but I split a purple Bill Wallis geranium and the new plants have come up whitish pink. And my ruby red Weigela that has flowered ruby for years and years has flowered pink this year.
I look forward to reading some answers to your question.

I don't know about normal, but I've had similar experience with Mrs. Bradshaw, and other plants. Not sure what happens really - I could speculate, but I don't know.

thanks anyway folks, i will buy another one and see if it keeps its colour this time :o)

in my experience, Mrs Bradshaw likes to wind gardeners up and she succeeded with me last year - I wrote a mini blog about her.
Buds always look yellow, but flowers v nice deep orangey red still when fully open!
Hope yours behaves herself too.

oh I hope so Weeding, I,ll let you know.

well you were right Weeding lol , mrs bradshaw ,after being yellow then part yellow /red is now as red as she was when I bought her. She is just a tease !!!!!

Heeheehee. I think she gets the last laugh. I remember i got into a right strop on this very q last season.
