Mine look the same, I do not think they are as hardy as the green ones. I am watching them though, will see if they improve. I bought mine last year. Google them and see there growing habit and our cold climate etc.

They always revert back to green after a while so while they look very red when young they will turn to mushy brown colour eventually
