Something like a California lilac

[Iamwaiting]

Please help!
So I have a really strange shaped garden that's a nice size, but borders onto 7 other gardens (new build) so it's very overlooked but also SO many borders to fill. I have been in it from 3 years and it was just grass and fence when I started. So I'm after big hedging plants that are a bit more than just a dull hedge. I really don't know much about gardening so I'm learning as I go.

So to set the scene down one side where there is a big fence and retaining wall I have two jasmines, and a pleached cherry, pear and apple tree.

Back wall is a buddleia, tulip tree, willow tree, California lilac tree, fire thorn, camellia, Canadian maple.

Final run is a palm, 4 x conifers, Chilean lantern tree, red acer, red Robin and big gap.

Middle is a weeping cherry blossom, magnolia, and white frothy thing that I've forgotten the name! Obviously loads of bedding plants too.

So I need something for that gap. Ideally bushy, fast ish growing, evergreen, 7-10 foot high, and I'd love it to flower or do something (more than just a conifer type thing.) Like my California lilac tree but different!

Thank you!

Not exactly what you were asking, but something with winter interest might be good as you've got a lot spring/ summer/ autumn covered?

How about:
Viburnum tinus Eve Prince - nice flowers in winter
Sarcococca confusa aka sweet box, gorgeous smelling flowers in winter
Cornus aka dogwood - not evergreen but vibrant stems in winter

Sounds like you've done an amazing job in a short time, any pics? 😃

That is a lot of plants which will eventually go very big (tulip trees get enormous!). So I'm assuming the garden is very large, which means you have the space for a proper tree?

If so, you could have one of the evergreen magnolias. Not super fast growing, but glorious when mature.

If space is more restricted you could have a holm oak. They grow very big, but can be pruned as much as you want.

Or even smaller you could put in a holly?

Chilean Potato Tree ticks your boxes. Quick growing and a very pretty flower.

@CharlotteStreetW1 you're a genius! That's exactly the sort of thing I'm after, thank you.
It will be next to the Chilean lantern tree so it can be my chile corner 😂
No pictures I'm afraid as it's so overlooked that it's very identifiable. Once everything grows I will be snapping away!

Looking forward to seeing it 😊

Chilean potato tree is not a tree, it's a climber more commonly known as Chilean potato vine. You could always grow it up a pergola or some such. It is also highly toxic being part of the nightshade family, so you might need to bear that in mind.

How about a Judas tree or a robinia pseudoacacia? Not evergreen though, not all that many nice flowering trees are, they are nearly all deciduous.

Ok back to the drawing board thanks @Yamadori for the heads up. Both your suggestions are beautiful but I'm after something a bit more bushy than tree.
Will google the other suggestions on this thread thanks everyone!

@helly29 the Viburnum tinus Eve Prince looks perfect thank you!

Wanted to suggest that you don’t just by one of everything spread round the garden.
See what’s growing well in other people’s gardens in the area (but also note whether plant is in sunny /shady spot) and buy 3 or 5of them -space according to (size after 5or ten years -depending on what you want) and have sweeping show of one colour
