It’s about 6 inches tall, with thick leaves that grow alternately on the stem and pink and white small, bell like flowers.

Google tells me it’s a pieris, which it’s not.

I don’t know where to plant it as I don’t know what it likes.

I think it's a weigela. I have some in pots and they are very pretty late spring.

Whoops no it isn't now I have seen the flowers more closely

I've put it through my plant finder app and it tells me it's a Salal, also known as Shallon, lemon leaf

Shallon maybe?

Yes @SomeHalfHumanCreatureThing and @notapizzaeater
You have it! Thanks So much.🥇

And to you too @RaininSummer for trying ⭐️

I’m very glad I asked as I thought it would stay small, but in fact it grows to 1.2m and can be invasive. So I think I’ll keep it in a pot and under control .

But shallon is Gaultheria. I think they've now moved Pernettya into Gaultheria - was this what you were thinking of when you said it wasn't Gaultheria?

It's another of the acid soil loving things. Grown mainly for its berries.
