Looks like choisya.

Agree - Choisya.

dont' think Oleander can manage in UK, too cold in UK for it

Choisya, definitely not oleander, the flowers and leaves on oleander are completely different.

CatherinedeBourgh · 20/05/2023 19:32

The leaves on oleander are long and thin, not divided like that. And the flowers' petals are kind of joined at the back.

I've seen it grow in the Netherlands....

I've had oleander in -17C, but it doesn't like damp cold.
