Just wondering if anyone can suggest what this may be. It's not my garden, so I haven't seen it at any other time of year. It flowers - owner thinks white. Very large, rounded and dense almost hedge like. Plants identification apps aren't helping. Many thanks.

Looks like Houttuynia. Does it smell horrid? Its decorative but quite invasive.
Hard to tell from the blurry pic.

Looks like Diervilla to me

It may well be Diervilla - thank you. (Definitely not Houttuynia)

Oh - the RHS says Deirvilla is deciduous, this has all its leaves still.

Look up poplar leaved cistus - type of rock rose

Thanks, yes this could well be the one, I will send a photo of the flower to garden owner, see if she agrees. Thanks again
