The dogs cannot get into this small area/bed – they are on wireless "fence" – they have to stop at the crape myrtle and before the retaining wall "grounds" – so I am not afraid of dog damage to the plants. This is only a two-year old house and not much has been planted yet. There are some native plants already in place – very tall old pine next to the dogs (you can see the trunk, it does not make too much shade, but probably has some major roots; we can knock it down if we want to but I don’t think we have to), maple tree (light color trunk to the right), wax myrtle bush (by the small pine tree I planted); also, there are some native hollies, southern magnolia and dogwood behind the area (to the right of the dog) that can be seen from the house but not so much from the driveway. There is a bird bath and bird feeder there – birds like all that shrub area.
I planted crape myrtle (deep red color), 5-6 carpet junipers (starting near crape myrtle and down and to the front), small pine tree (that I hope will not grow too big). I have tulips and crocuses planted for spring bloom - stretching from juniper to the clay pot in the front. There are 2-3 liriope behind the clay pot. I grew from seed beautiful "patriotic" petunias in the clay pot and around it; and I planted some tiny "snow" flower in the lower section of the wall (you can see few dried clumps of them).
So, what should I plant so that there is flowers and color this time of the year? I am hoping to have some color in the front visible from the road and also was hoping to block the view of the veg garden in the back. So some sort of medium-height hedge starting from crape myrtle and continuing to the old pine? No more major trees, - there is a vineyard and veg garden in the back.
Give me some ideas, please. Thank you.

You can back it with yellow or red twigged dogwoods, Cornus 'Silver and Gold' - a variegated leaf, native dogwood

You could also grow some deciduous holly, Ilex verticillata, which has red winter berries, variety 'Winter Red' is generally considered the best. There are also shorter varities of Ilex verticillata available.
