Plant Identification Request - Is it a herb ?
 

I have a small bush like plant near my compost tip at the end of the garden.
I would be pleased if someone could identify this plant for which I have
uploaded pics at http://tinyurl.com/z3lut

The bush looks the same all year, always green, no smell, no flowers and I
would like to use the space for other plants.

I think I planted some herbs a few years ago so could it be a herb ?
Thanks.

It's a hebe. It should flower, but I think they're grown mainly for
their foliage.

Not if it doesn't smell

It's a Hebe. Depending on variety, some have lovely flowers. Perhaps in
autumn you could move it to another part of the garden with a bit more sun
(assuming it's not getting much sun now!) and then, if it still doesn't do
anything, chuck it!

I have the same hebe in my garden, planted two years ago, and they
flowered for the first time this early summer. One of them was quite
odd: exactly half of the globe the bush forms flowered, the other half
did not.
I wouldn't chuck it regardless, it has interesting folliage, and can
look nice as a contrast to other plants - it does in my garden, and the
flowering this year was a bonus.
