The same thing can happen when outside, that is, with a cold spell inground plants can turn purple also and when the weather warms again they turn back to green.

Carolyn,
Thank you for the helpful advice. I'll try the 2" pots and take the 4" pots back to the garden store. I am grateful to have this forum.
