Nachtmelodie

'Nachtmelodie' is best in spring when the dark, glowing purple to almost black colouring is strongest but this variety maintains a fairly consistent colour all year round. In summer the leaves take on a metallic sheen and with the faintest of little silvery hairs on the leaf tips and edges. Grows well, medium-sized.

It's amazing that one of the parents was the bright red 'Flasher'.
