Shrub ID appreciated!
We have this shrub in our front garden and next door neighbour also has a larger one. Have also seen it growing wild. (We are in an Oxfordshire village).
Ours is about 4ft tall with mid green leaves and dark pink bell shaped flowers that smell a little of cat pee! The photo is accurate but the wind was blowing hence slight blurring (our soil is quite heavy clay type.) I'd love to know what it is please as I am a total novice. |
