| Interested in adding another type of heuch or two BUT I want ones that retain their color well -- or even if they must change color at least change to nice colors.
I had toyed with picking up Peach Flambe from Lowes since many of the perennials are now quite cheap & and the colors on the internet pics are lovely, but the colors were so drab in person. Tan leaves do absolutely nothing for me. (Whether this coloration normal or because Lowes has them in shade I don't know.) The plants in question would be receiving a lot of sun -- perhaps even full sun most of the day. I would like something in the pink or peachy orange or even yellow foliage for some contrast against Midnight Rose and Obsidian -- both of which retain their dark color for me even in full all day sun. Not really interested in greens -- have plenty of green plants. |

| Berry Smoothie is supposed to be fade proof and pink foliage. Haven't seen it yet in person, but the pictures look great. |

| I love my 'Beaujolais'. |

| My favorite combo, Berry Smoothie, Mint Julep, and Sugar Plum, all look good in the summer, but look spectacular together in the spring. Here's how they look now (picture taken at 8am):

| Paul, my favs are Rave On (sun am; shade pm) Marmalade (shade am, sun pm), Caramel (full sun) and Sweet Tea (sun am, shade pm). No luck with Peach Flambe or Alabama Sunrise. Jodi
