It seems to me that SR is highly variable in all of its forms and seems prone to change its leaf color at the drop of a hat. I believe it is a chimera, and as such, highly unstable. I had one that I purchased back in '07 that grew great in about a 3 gallon pot all year, the next year I put it in the ground and it started out OK, then started delcining for no apparant reason. This year it is in a pot and is only about 4" tall. Seems like a really weak plant all in all. I certainly hope this one perks up because it is beautiful and I don't want to loose it.
