Thank you jamie68 you are right it is C. simplex. I have all my brunettes in the filtered sun and they stay quite dark.
David thanks for the information on Flower ID time. You are right this is fall and quite late. My thinking on similar colors is to add depth to the color contrast between Dark and Chartreuse. ( Blackbeauty Sambucus/Madonna Sambucus) The Cimi's will flower at a different time and keep the flower interest color longer. I have a large area that you look down into and want the 3D effect of different foilage texture. This is the area and each Sambucus is located in front of the Drift wood the cimis will emerge about 4' in front of them. The rest of the planting is Various Cornus, Hamamelis, and Parrotia trees.
