Mystery shrub
Can anyone identify this shrub for me please, planted by the previous owners? It's growing in full sun in a very windy location, and stands about four feet tall. It's just going over now (in lowland Scotland).

Fascinating ID, Stewart. When I saw the first picture I thought of salix reticulata, but when I saw the flowers I thought spirea, as Dave did. I did not even know there is a spiraea salicifolia. Interesting. Pam in Bristol |

Interesting. They've gone wild in parts of the country. They're suckering plants which form extensive colonies. I don't know how to judge whether colonies originated from seed or from throwouts. At one point they were mostly recorded as Spiraea salicifolia, but it has since been realised that 4 species (one with two subspecies) and 3 hybrids are present. The species are Spiraea salicifolia, Spiraea alba, Spiraea douglasii and Spiraea tomentsoa, and the hybrids Spiraea x billardii, Spiraea x pseudosalicifolia and Spiraea x rosalba.

"Sacha" wrote in message ... is indeed under "Laura in china", Might be Clethra alnifolia? The pepper bush. -- Sacha I agree that is a likely candidate. I was able to see the first link OK. Tina |
