Mystery plant

Derbyshire, United Kingdom

I bought two of these plants from the garden centre as they were cheap and I needed to fill some gaps. There was no information about it and nobody to ask, can anyone help? Thanks, Emma.

I'm probably wrong but it looks like a young weigela to me. must say its very beautiful

not easy to say, the only thing that comes to mind is Photinia which is evergreen , new leaves are coloured changing to a leathery green ( red robin) but there are others --I also think its also called a stransvasia -

Leucothoe also looks like this.
Some have cream tinges present too.

i'd go with photinia too, the leaves are too glossy for weigela in my experience.

I thought photinia too....mind I'm not familiar with leucothoe....

24 Jul, 2009

 

Leucothoe was my first thought too.

It looks like photinia, except the leaves are too narrow - I'm going with Leucothoe currently - unless its growth changes as it grows.

I'm in the Leucothoe camp.

I have phontinia and the leaves are wider than this, dont know the other
but will be team photinia as it maybe a baby still

He might think it's a vegetable - hope he's not listening!

Definitely Leucothoe.

Hi all, many thanks for the great replies to my question. I've googled the suggested names and am convinced it is a Leucothoe. I'm looking forward to it flowering now :) Thanks again!
