Flowers - an open thread.

this bush is in our front garden and every year it gets bigger and always seems to be in flower..the bees love it so we are hesitant about doing any cutting and shaping....
can anyone let us know the name of the bush and what attention it needs and when...dont want to do it any harm its so nice and right in the middle of the plot looks majestic

The thinking in the BB house is that it is likely a variety of Hebe........though none too sure about which one!

HTH :)
 
Yup, definitely a Hebe of some sort. Have a Google to see how to prune but be aware that there are many opinions on it!

My first real 'attempt' with this sort of subject, I would normally be sat in a hide waiting for a particular bird to turn up.
