Moyer's Red and Purple Passion grow 4 to 6 feet tall and have bright-red to red-purple foliage.
  
  

Well-Drained Soil

• Well-drained sites do not retain excess moisture. The redleaf rose (Rosa glauca) grows 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide. It has red and blue-green foliage and produces pink, fragrant blooms in the early spring followed by red fruits that last until fall. The redleaf rose is hardy in USDA zones 3 to 8 and prefers full sun to shade and moist, well-drained soil. The red barberry (Berberis thunbergii var. atropurpurea) has clusters of red-purple, deciduous foliage. This drought-tolerant, adaptable shrub blooms with yellow-and-purple flowers in the spring, followed by bright-red berries that last from fall through winter. Red barberries grow 6 feet tall with an equal spread and are hardy in zones 4 to 8. Plant red barberry in sun to shade and a range of well-drained soils.
  
  

Partial Shade

• Partially shaded sites receive less than four hours of a day of direct light. The red chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia) grows slowly to 10 feet tall with a 5-foot-wide spread. This deciduous shrub blooms with white-and-pink, spring flowers, followed by red berries that last through winter. Its foliage turns bright scarlet in fall. Red chokeberries prefer sun to partial shade, tolerate a range of soils from wet to dry and are hardy in USDA zones 4 to 9. The Notcutt cranberry bush virburnum (Viburnum opulus "Notcutt") has deep-red, fall foliage and produces long-lasting, bright-red berries. This deciduous shrub grows to 12 feet tall with a 15-foot spread and is hardy in zones 3 to 8. It prefers sun to partial shade and tolerates a range of soils.
