A coupla years ago, I saw pictures on someone's blog of beautyberry used as a foundation planting...

Neat idea... I'm going to be adding a few around my house... after making sure that I don't destroy any of the desirable naturals...
I've also seen the Malvaviscus arboreus used as a foundation planting as the first post shows, but I think it is nicer in an area where it has room to spread... those people who try to tame that beauty... are missing out... or something. Beautiful hummingbird / butterfly plant!
