Hey, hey, hey...... it's Albert, and not the adorable Bill Cosby of the 70's Albert.

No one asked you or anyone else here what their opinion was on red mulch. In fact I doubt the OP and certainly not me gives a rat's behind if you find it ugly or not. Let's get a view of your garden so we can open the mic up to more karaoke commentators.

So is that how it is on here? When someone comes on here feeling safe to ask a group of people who are expert gardeners a question about a plant or tree people are now supposed to comment on how UGLY their choice is? I am disgusted by the rudeness in this thread. The only explanation I can come up with is the littlest people puff themselves up on an internet forum because they aren't taken seriously offline.
