Eye-popping shrub combo

Post by Tigger »

If anyone's ever been to Chanticleer outside Philly, you might recognize this concept. They love to combine big and bold colors.

This is vitex 'Abbeville Blue', sumac 'Tiger Eyes', and cotinus ('Grace' or 'Royal Purple', I don't remember).

Wow, that really is an eye-popping combo. I never really thought about making an impact with shrubs like that. Cool!
