another plant to identify

[GrowAndRun]

Does anyone know what this is? Thanks

My guess is a Hebe of some sort... will be easier to identify when it flowers though

The form looks like a rhododendron to me! But hard to say.

It is a random plant in 4 plant pots. which means that it can't take up moisture through the roots, so if you want it, take it out of the 4 pots, and give it a top dressing as the soil has eroded exposing the base of the stem. And the leaves look yellow so it needs some food, which a top dressing of compost might sort out.

If you want an ID, you need to take a more close up photo of the leaves and the stems, and potentially wait until it flowers.

I would have gone rhododendron too, Shove. In particular there are some leaves on the left of the pic which look rhododendron-y. If that's the case, you'll need acidic Soil for it. As Doreen says can you post some close up pics?

[GreenMarkerPen]

is it evergreen?
I would say rhododendron as well.

Yup, the problem here, as cupcakes says is that if it's a rhodo you need ericaceous compost. But if it's something else, like a viburnum davidii, then you need normal compost. (I am more and more convinced it's a rhodo).

Can you post a close up of the leaves and of the top bit of the branches where the leaves join - there should be a little flower bud if it's a rhodo - though because it's in a bit of a way, it may have decided to put its energies into staying alive rather than flowering this year.

I thought it looked like a sickly rhodi yesterday but was too scared to post .. Couldn't really see the leaves properly !
