Hi there!

Does anyone know what this plant/bush is called, please?

    It looks like Symphoricarpus but I would need a second opinion. image It could also be a Viburnum.

    I think it's a Spirea, but don't know which one. 

    East Anglia

    I think Asarum is right, spiraea, but I don't know which one either. image

    Spirea  arguta or Spirea cantoniensis,

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Thanks for all the replies.

    Just had a search on Google and I think you're right, Lyn.

    Spiraea cantoniensis (Reeves' meadowsweet).

    It certainly looks pretty close to it. Lovely plant.

    Thanks again to everyone!!

    None of the spireas are scented, as far as I know, and yes, shrub  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Hi Shazza!

    I have to be honest, I'm not sure if it smells. Its a large bush outside a Travis Perkins that I pass on my way to work. I think I'd get a few funny looks if stopped for a sniff. 

    :)
