I need somthing to form somewhat of a hedge row along side of my hose.
We had red tip photinias before but I yanked them out for various
reasons.

1. I don't want boxwoods or other similar shrubs...I'm looking for
something with a little color.

2. Sage doesn't really turn me on...too common.

3. I want something with a maximum height of no more than 4 feet.

4. Drought tolerant is preferred.

5. Space gets intense direct early morning to early afternoon sun.

6. MUST be deer-PROOF..."resistant" doesn't seem to do the trick
sometimes.

Suggestions?
