My home has four large windows in front, and I have Japanese yew on each side and wanted something that would only get 1 to 2 feet tall in front of the windows. The new foliage is reddish and turns a dark green as it matures. The spring flowers are white. It is touted as one of the most disease-resistant varieties. This mounding Indian hawthorn matures to a height of 2 to 3 feet and spreads 4 to 6 feet.
New foliage is bronze, and then turns dark green and almost black in winter.
The spring blooms are pink. This might be an option for you. Indian hawthorns are best in a sunny spot where there is good air circulation. Provide a moist, well-draining, organically enriched soil. These evergreen shrubs produce blue berries after flowering.
