I would not worry about the uniformity. Put three plants to make a group planting on either side. The reason I am saying this is that the side with the sun will grow much better and higher than the one without the sun and you will definitely will notice the difference.
Moses plant with green and purple leaves. Takes both sun and shade.
The match could be in the containers if not in the plants (choose plants that are the same color, like red or pink, or yellow, if not the same type) that way all the plants would do well in the area they are planted in.
Make sure the pots the plants are in are uniform not necessarily the plants themselves. Example, all the pots are same material (like clay) and painted the same color.
Shrubbery with red flowers such as Azalea grow to be about 3-4 feet high and bloom from Spring to Fall if they are watered. They can be trimmed to the desired height. If you want to match the color to the other side You should go on line to the flower gardening sites to see what you like that will grow in the shade and that will compliment the other side. You will find many pictures of plants along with the pertinent information for the sun and shade and your planting zone. If you do use shrubs, depending on your space you may not be able to put three in so put the shrub at the back and smaller plantings in front. Hope this helps. I love the red too as it draws your attention to the front of the house.
Hi Kathy,
The plant is sold at Home Depot. The full name is Moses in the Pulpit. It is both hardy and attractive. Hope you locate it in your area. I have one in sun and one and shade and they both do about the same growth wise.
