A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 Mystery to me but probably common.

Can anyone name a bush that has a dark burgundy rounded leaf?

It's quite common and I've seen it used in fake flower arrangements alot.

I love the bush but have no idea what it is called.

Don't have much else to describe it to you but if I see it, I know it.

Thanks.
