I have a £15 token to spend.
My small front garden faces NE so only gets sun early in the day.
Fuchsias do OK, hydrangia, campanula, euonimus, pieris and of course privet
too. A Japenese maple was killed by the cold wind.
I would like to introduce a couple of shrubs to flower over the winter. I
see Hebes as I move around the area, but don't know the variety.
I probably don't want anything over 100cm/3 feet tall.
Ideas please.
Note the area below.


The Sarcococcas would be good, I think and they're very highly scented.
They probably go to somewhere between 3' and 4' but you can keep many things
where you want them! *Daphone odora Aureomarginata is another wonderfully
scented winter flowering plant and it's not a big thug of a thing, either..

Sacha would he be able to buy a Daphne for under £15? I can remember
buying a small one years ago in England and it cost about that then?
