That's like me with variegated plants! I have tried Dodonaea in my garden, but it was killed in a bad winter. It was lovely though, so I really hope you have a better success. :)

All these plants would go very well in my new pink border Angela I'm aiming for pinks and browns ...

I hope so Karen , we had to take out some old shrubs along the garage wall it was a good excuse to choose with a colour plan in mind ,the shrubs are small at the moment they should look pretty when they all bush out :o)

Amy they certainly would, and they will soon bush out I am sure, will enjoy looking at your pics later on...
K sorry to hear you lost this one....

Dottydaisy2:
I think you meant: Dodonaea viscosa 'Purpurea'. :>)
This large shrub or tree is native to the Southwest U.S. and is very widely used in California...in some cases very over-used in the landscape. It's a beauty, though! :>)
