B&Q 6 x Assorted Shrubs

Hi,

On a recent trip to B&Q I picked up a pack of 6 young shrubs, my daughter pestered me for them (and some Buxus)... plus they looked good & only £7.

I think I can identify a few & have numbered them to make this easier. No indication on the tray or handle/tag

I've used my limited knowledge & Google Lens to guess the following so far:

1. Photinia Red Robin? Little?
2. Hebe Green Globe?
3. Pieris Flaming Silver?
4. ?
5. ?
6. ?

Any help is appreciated.

Eric

 

4 is a choisya, probably "Aztec Gold." 6 is lonicera nitida. 5 has me stumped!

I think you got yourself a good £7 worth there - congratulate your daughter from me on her sharp eye for a bargain!

 

Hi @Eric. ,
4 is a Choisya Ternata ( Mexican Orange Blossom ), beautiful scented white flowers in late spring/early summer and sometimes a few more in autumn.
5 is an Ilex , Holly, don't know which one though.
6 rings a bell but I can't remember and I never guess.

 

Hi @Clare G , I knew I knew no 6 and I kept thinking shrubby Honeysuckle but it just wouldn't come to me

 

Thanks @Clare G & @KFF. I like that they all seem to be evergreen.

I had actually took a photo of the Honeysuckle to find out what it was while revisiting a park from my childhood last week - Fletcher Moss Gardens in Didsbury/Manchester.

 

4 - Is a Choyisa Ternata Sundance

5 - Osmanthus Ilex Goshiki

6 - need a closer look but looks like Lonerica Nitida

 

Hi, No 5 is Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Goshiki' (oops Perki beat me to it).

No 1 a Photinia maybe.
