• Choisya Ternata (Mexican Orange Blossom) – Glossy, evergreen foliage and fragrant white flowers from late spring, and then again in late summer and autumn. A robust shrub that is very tolerant of difficult growing conditions, including coastal gardens. Height and spread: 2.5m (8′).
• Euonymus fortunei ‘Emerald Gaiety’ – RHS AGM variety, semi-evergreen silvery green leaves with white margins providing all year-round interest in the garden or in patio containers. Makes superb ground cover and can also be wall-trained. Height: 100cm (39″). Spread: 150cm (59″).
• Euonymus ‘Emerald ‘n’ Gold’ – A well-known RHS AGM variety. The semi-evergreen golden yellow variegated foliage brings a bright splash of year-round colour, turning to shades of pinkish red during periods of cold weather. Height: 60cm (24″). Spread: 90cm (36″).
• Photinia ‘Red Robin’ – RHS AGM variety well-loved for its blaze of bright scarlet new foliage in spring. Evergreen glossy new leaves and crimson stems make a strong contrast with the mature green foliage lower down the plant, giving an eye-catching two-tone effect. The spring foliage is complemented by rounded clusters of creamy-white flowers. Height and spread: up to 4m (13′).
• Nandina domestica ‘Blush Pink’ – a particularly flamboyant semi-evergreen cultivar with young foliage emerging pink in spring.

In July it bears dainty white flowers followed by small red berries. Height and spread: 1m (39″).
