Who says trees, shrubs and grasses have to be green? Check out these dark colored varieties and add a little variety to your landscape. Choices include:
Acer palmatum (several choices), Coprosma repens, Cornus alba ´Kesselringii,´ Corylus maxima ´Purpurea´ and Pittosporum tenuifolium ´Tom Thumb.´
Although some of these have green in them or are known for their dark colored stems, a perfect addition to winter landscaping.
