I also have this one which had a name like 'Dragon Wing' or 'Dragon's Blood'. It looks terrible now because the big old brug that was shading it died back the last two winters, so it's getting way too much sun. It usually has plain deep green leaves (not this dull green) with ruffled picotee edges, and red reverses. Flowers are red, too.

I've tried to root cuttings of this guy, with no success. It's never made plantlets at the nodes like the silver one is doing. Could be I tried at the wrong time of year. Ideas?
