    I suddenly remembered yesterday, after passing my own on my way out, that Philadelphus is another suitable shrub for your site. There are lots of varieties, but they all work well in shadier sites, although not evergreen. White scented flowers, mainly in early summer. 

    There's a new variety called Pearls of Perfume which flowers for longer as the first blooms are on the old wood but these are followed by more on the new wood.  🙂

    That would be nice @ViewAhead - I have no room for more though! I grow one of the smaller ones - Manteau d'Hermine, which has lovely double flowers. Very useful in all sorts of sites. Very versatile shrubs.  :)

    I knew there would be something else I'd forgotten @Loxley. I forgot about Pieris too which would also be fine in the site. I've not grown any choysias in this garden. Again- no room unless something pops it's clogs.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I have M-d'H too!  👍  An excellent, very easy going shrub, in my experience.
