It was green, that turned to that red color.

Yes, that's a feature of Deshojo. Youngest leaves red, then fading to greener as you can see on your picture and then hardening off and become green. They're beautiful in spring - all red and in summer - red on green.

Many of the palmatum varieties will have red/bright red new growth, especially the autumn flush.
