Each year I've seen variegation run from from more white to more green. Once I started fertilizing regularly and
sticking to the schedule, colors balanced out. Also had healthier leaves and faster growth when I brought the pH down with sulfur and performed a few mycorrhizae drenches.
One thing I see in your pics --- you should clear out the grass for a 5 to 6 ft hole and top with bark mulch. Or, since you have so many Ae pups, make it easier on yourself by planting in a row in a continuous trench. Mats 8 ft apart and trench 6 ft wide. Because of the grass lay a border of landscape timber and fill the planting area with 3 to 4 inches of bark mulch.
Even better --- get rid of the friggin' grass altogether! Right, Jon? (pitangadiego hates grass)
