Thanks so much Donna! I’m actually changing the shutters and door color to something closer to black. I think with the shady area near the door I’ll go with something architectural rather than a tree… I’ve been going back and forth on this decision but think I need something a little more structural. Love your idea of a plum tree however and may go that route if I can’t find something that speaks to me. ;) Thanks so much for dropping by and for your suggestion… Such a great idea! xx

If you do want to do the ornamental plum true there are plants that are that color.
Intermedia or Japanese Barberry is a delicate splash of reliable color but a hardy plant/shrub (four seasons)for any setting where you need that little bit of something extra to spice up a location. It has the same dark red foliage, easy care great for California. Can be kept any size easily.
Also diablo ninebark.

Glad you are back to blogging again. Love your insta stories. Just a suggestion of adding an ornamental plum tree in your yard or any plants that are that dark burgandyish color like your door and shutters. I think it would look nice.
XO Donna

Thanks Sandy… Love Winter Gem boxwood too! Both are similar when comparing the differences. I’m just so familiar with Green Beauty as it’s huge in my area. I can always find an abundance of healthy plants and that makes a difference. Looking forward to finishing the gardens as well… I know Jeff will be thrilled when all is complete. Lol Hugs!
