Can I dye boo leafs that get yellow in sun ?

[JCPenney]

We have many Fargesia dracocephalia Rufa here. Most are in deep shade and look great. I divided some clumps and put in large pots. They are shaded in morning and afternoon......but get a lot of midday sun.

Can I add green vegetable dye to the pots for them to look better ?

Thanks

That sounds like a good experiment! If it were me I wouldn't do it to my best specimen -- I'd try it on a smaller pot placed in the same location and see what happens. I'd be surprised if it worked though, but I'm no expert.
