Hi all
Looking to improve garden screening with perimeter shrubs.
These will be to the north of a copper beach (almost under its canopy)
against a fence.
So need evergreen, shade tolerant, clay/chalk tolerant, dry(ish)tolerant.
Prefer free standing rather than climbing.
Height required 2.5 - 3m, preferably able to be kept to 1m deep x 2m wide
without too much effort.
Location is east yorkshire at top of hill but not too exposed.
Like scented stuff.
Suggestions welcome
There is no scented evergreen shrub that does well in dense shade. I'd
sacrifice the evergreen bit and go for Viburnum Bodnantense - 'Dawn',
which is a fantastic hardy shrub that grows up to 10' tall, with sweet
smelling blooms in late winter or longer periods if winter is mild.
The branches are abundant and grow thickly.
