we've had a number of good threads going here on native wildlife-friendly substitutes for various common invasives. now I'm looking for a small shrub, something probably in the 1-2' range. I want to do a planting around the perimeter of my pool fence, and dh came to me the other day with a Lowe's ad and a pic of a rose-colored leaf barberry that he really liked. not really looking to make a tight hedge, just a row along the fence. the pic is from my garden design software. I don't know if there's anything that size that would provide berries or anything for the birds, but at the very least I don't want to plant anything invasive.
