Does the foliage feel soft to the touch or is it hard? If soft, it could be an artemesia of some sort.
I think that's Tamarisk Alan.
I never think it looks much but some people like it
Good at the seaside. Are you at the seaside? I think maybe you are
In the sticks near Peterborough

I've grown tamarisk not far from the sea in Norfolk - it does well and when given some TLC does look lovely - a and doesn't mind the salt air. Give it a chance, trim it, feed it, mulch it and wait and see what it does in the spring.
