What I need are some nice shrubs that won't die a few months after I plant them. I don't like oleanders or Texas rangers and that's all I seem to see most of the time. All I'm asking for is something attractive and not generic that will survive!

panamint_patty: I have a friend who has a bunch of ruellias in her backyard. She usually calls them wild petunias. I love the purple flowers!
