The species has a lot of natural variation, every once in a while a seedling will be different (but normally they are mostly green with some red bits on the petioles). So once they found a couple of red seedlings they tissue culture them and so you can grow them, but if they produce seed they make green plants since thats the normal color of the species and I guess the red coloring is not a very passable trait.
