Barberry Shrub
Barberry shrubs are bright orange in color, deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, and contain thorns adding extra security to your flower bed. For the best foliage color, plant barberry in the spring in a half-sun area that has moist but well-drained soil. These plants grow 3 to 4-feet in height.
Smoke Tree
Smoke trees come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They can be grown as shrubs or trees. In the fall, they turn to a purple color that matches the vibrant colors of autumn. Smoke trees should be planted in very sunny places with average soil and good drainage.
Peony
One of the more well-known landscaping flowers, peonies are fragrant plants and come in a variety of colors. They should be planted in spring or fall and can be grown in either full sun or morning sun with afternoon shade. Peonies thrive in well-drained soil with extra compost or fertilizer.
Feather Red Grass
Different grasses add movement and color to a landscape without being overpowering. Feather reed grass is brownish-reddish in color in the spring and turns golden-brown in the fall. This grass can be planted in full sun or light shade and needs rich, moist soil.
Juniper
Juniper is a classic green shrub that is easy to maintain. It reaches 12 to 18-inches in height and can be 7 to 9-foot wide. The shrub should be planted in average, well-drained soil and turns a yellow-orange color in the fall.
