Purple isn't a color I notice too often. It's not bold like red;
doesn't make me stop in my tracks like an orange sky. But somehow
these purple leaves made me stop & look. In their own way, they
looked bold like red. Yup, I stopped dead in my tracks. Don't know
why. Maybe I just needed to slow down & see the picture that the
leaves were waiting for me to take.
When choosing bushes to plant in your yard, keep in mind that non-migratory birds eat berries during the winter months.
