Purple-leaf Sand Cherry

Again the lighting to this picture is not doing one of my favorite shrubs justice either .. I have two of these shrubs and they are great for a dark accent .. all I have done is prune the weak shoots out so they form a "pillar" shape of dark purple colour to play off other colours and shapes in the garden. http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/shrubselector/detail_plant.cfm?PlantID=363
