    Please tell me what trees and shrubs have lovely dark foliage all through out the year (no summer fading).

    I have the following that do pretty well, and looking for more...
    Acer palmatum atropurpureum
    Physocarpus opulifolius 'Diablo'


    Some I have heard of but don't have yet:
    Acer platinoides 'Crimson Sentry'- does this hold it color?
    Catalpa x erubenscens 'Purpurea' - does this stay purple?
    Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy'
    Cotinus coggygria 'Purple Supreme'

    None of the barberries that I have stay deep purple in the summertime, nor does my Sambucus nigra 'Guincho Purple.
