daiseycat, Forest Pansy could be considered a "plain jane" but you can't beat the flowers and gorgeous foliage in the spring. We have one that was planted about 10 years ago and pruned up to form a canopy over one part of our driveway. Because of its form you don't even notice the rather drab green foliage when the heat kicks in by the middle of July. We liked it so much we planted another one 2 years ago on the other side of the driveway. Here's a photo of the younger tree one year after planting.
