Then I'm sure people who know about gardening 'up there' will come along
to
help you. If you'd been in the balmy south west and near the sea, I was
thinking of Escallonia or even Pittosporum tobira but I don't think they'd
like your climate!

I already have Escallonia Rubra Macanthra (sp) in a mixed hedge with
ceanothus, cotoneaster and ileagnus. All seem to do well.
However I was looking for something a bit more compact.
Is there a variety of escallonia that is perhaps more dense foliage and
generally happy to be smaller IYSWIM.
Still want the blooms and fragrance though of course.

I will look at your Pittosporum Tobira.

Thanks
