    I am looking for some ideas on a good size plant/shrub to grow at the top of my drive.

    We have a nice drive up to our house which is made up of a low granite wall on both sides.

    As you get towards front of house the wall goes to left and goes to right in order to allow traffic drive around our house.

    It's at this point, the top of the drive where it verves off to the left at one side and to the right at the other, I would like to sow a nice good size shrub that has colourful flowering for a good few months of year.....

    I would love your recommendations as I am not familar with my shrubs but would like something that goes well with granite and a countrystyle house look.

    Thanks again
