Dwarf 'firepower' nandinas are a favorite of CG. These plants are extremely hardy and have year-round color. The bushes are slow growing, so a mass planting of them takes patience. But it's possible to get great deals on them, ($6 for a 3 gallon size) which makes it easier to fill-in any gaps. The mark-downs are almost always late in the fall, which happens to be the best time to plant!
