A lovely Ceanothus started off this spring quite dead, hasn't revived, so
replacement needed.

It was in about a 1 metre cube of brick adjacent to a front drive, fairly
heavy soil (London), West aspect, lasted for just 4 years.

is there anything nearly so lovely that might last a bit longer?

Ideas, please.
Thanks,

Laurence

Rosemary is has evergreen fragrant foliage, small blue flowers, and
can be clipped into shapes. Or how about beautiful cistus x purpureus
James Fradd? It has elegant grey foliage and produces a lot of flowers
over many months in summer; papery white saucers 3" across with yellow
stamens. Inside each petal is a dark red blotch like a drop of blood.

Thank you Janet - the Cistus is a very tempting suggestion.
