Could someone please suggest a good *evergreen* fairly hardy shrub that
will produce cheerful flowers in a south facing, but shaded location in
North London.

It's to go in good top soil that's about a foot and a half deep, and
then
resting
on clay. Many thanks.


Drimys lanceolata, Choisya ternata, Camellias, Rhododendrons. The
following are scented, as are some Rhododendrons. Eleagnus ebbingei
Limelight, Sarcococca confusa, Mahonias, Osmanthus,
Sacha


wow what a selection, many thanks!


I hope one or some fit your space and needs!
