Azalea - Pink and Sweet
Few landscape plants are more colorful than Pink and Sweet or offer as many opportunities for your landscape. Purplish-pink flowers have a golden flare in the throat and a spicy sweet fragrance.

Their shallow roots will dry out quickly during periods of limited rainfall. Striking blossoms are set off by deep green foliage that turns red each fall. It grows 4 feet wide and 3 feet wide.

Barberry-Red Leaf Japanese The branches are slender, spiny, and small, and the leaves are roundly oval in a deep red to purple color.

Bright red berries can be found along stems from late fall through winter. Barberry bushes are best located in full sun. The Barberry bush or RedLeaf Japanese bush, Berberis thunbergii, is a deciduous shrub reaching up to 24" tall and about 30" wide. Ironically, this is never really considered a feature of this plant.
