I personally like purple barberries, different strokes. In fact, was thinking they would look nice next to some Black eyed Susans and dark green conifers.

Funny story though, you know how crimson pygmy is everywhere? My Gramma had the straight species, it took me a while to figure out what it even was, cause I was used to seeing it a certain way. Duh. She is gone from this earth (or rather, has become a part of it), but she was not a fan of pruning plants into unnatural shapes, she liked them to do their own thing, and I'm like that too.

alyrics~that euonymous/myosotis pairing is lovely! One of the few shrubs that stays evergreen here, so I also like them too!

Here is a picture of one of my new front yard beds, it has ninebark, and sweetspire (my personal favorite) in it!
