Hello, the larger shrub above the blue spires is Cotinus coggygria Grace, the shrub further along is Physocarpus opulifolius 'Lady in Red' Both plants are deciduous but are great feature plants in the summer. All red leaved plants need a light space and come to life when the sun shines through the leaves.

Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it!

Wow this is one of the best formally informal borders I have seen. I love it. I really like the pea gravel edge to keep the grass out and also creates a walking path. The design is nice so if something dies its not a biggy. Looks like bee heaven.
