Yes, yes, yes, to all of those beautiful choices! Danielle, seek out Purple Prince or Plum Dandy Alternanthera for next year. The purple foliage gets darker in Fall(they are still going strong even today and we've had two hard frosts. This is my second year planted this beauty amongst my flowers in the garden(usually just planted it in flower baskets before. I love how it accentuates the flowers and foliage around it. I planted lime green coleus and Proven Winners Supertunia Latte amongst the alternanthera in large swaths, it was gorgeous!

A couple of years ago I bought a hypericum inodurum which has the most amazing bright red - berries - in the summer. In my research I found out about a purple dark leaf variety, Albury Purple which I would like to get but it seems to be rare. Does anyone have experience with the purple leaf hypericum?
( I also love the variegated hypericum moserianum which is almost a ground cover. Sometimes called tricolor. I have a new seedling from it that has a solid lime green leaf, a bright chartreuse, that I am excited about! )

Don't forget the great part of the Elderberry is not just for the birds!
The berries are good to make a tasty syrup to take for immunity boost too!
I like to let the birds have the top half of the bush, the ones too hard to reach.
The rest are for me!

Don't forget purple heucheras. They might not be exactly a shrub but they're perennial and semi-evergreen, so they last almost all year long. They give so much color and you can just keep on dividing them every year until you have a big drift of them.

I think you should do an entire series on different colors, silver, purple, orange/bronze, chartreuse etc. I recently became obsessed with purple foliage! And I was trying to look for videos like this and I couldn't find many

You mention using shrubs in arrangements. Does it take a while for the shrub to produce new branches and can you remove to much foliage? Also, are their some shrubs that are fast growing and are not bothered by cutting?

I added a ninebark this year too and can already tell I need more. I love the beauty berry too, it's very pretty. Thanks for focusing on purple foliage, my purchase list for next year is expanding!

Love the purple shrubs. are any of these deer resistant? I've grown the hibiscus and that is in my vegetable and cut flower garden with electric fence because we have such a problem with deer.

I love all your suggestions! Another purple shrub I love is the Sunjoy Mini Maroon barberry. This one is considered non invasive (but still may not ship to some states) and is just so pretty.

great video, as always-
wondering how heavily you can cut from a ninebark for bouquets? Mine is newly planted so I didn't want to cut any this year but hoping I can use some by next year.

Danielle, do you know if that beauty berry is reliably deer resistant? I-m looking to add a red or purple leaved shrub that is deer resistant and drought distant once established in zone 6.

I grew the hibiscus for the first time this year and loved it. Its vase life is so good too. Also really enjoyed red perilla which is an almost metallic purple sheen to its leaves.

I planted a nine bark this year because you introduced it to me! I love it. I also love the purple Heuchera. Not a shrub but definitely a staple in my garden. Take care!
