Could anyone tell me if this is Emerald Gaiety please? I bought some small ones last year which look a bit darker but this is a more mature one I inherited so appearance may alter with age but I don't know. Thank you.

    It certainly looks like my Emerald Gaiety. The new young growth is always lighter than the older leaves.

    I think you are more likely to see the pink edges in colder weather?
