RED LEAVES OF SATSUKI.

@In autumn, we can see many kind of green leaves are changed to red and yellow. We call that condition "KOH-YOH" in Japanese. Means of "KOH-YOH" are not only changing the color but let feel us comming autumn closely.

SATSUKI is also having "KOH-YOH". But SATHUKI's KOH-YOH are very distinctive. Because almost kind of leaves are wither up soon after KOH-YOH, But SATSUKI's red leaves are never wither up. They have been remaining red color till next spring, and return fresh green on next flower season again.
