Shrub IDs please

[Jasmine]

I bought a selection of 6 small shrubs this morning but apart from one they aren't named.

This is the first 3...



The hebe is the only one that is named, then I don't know what the middle one is and I think the right hand side one may be Gaultheria i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/undecided.gif

The second 3...



I think these are Choisya on the left, Nandina in the middle and some sort of Euonymus on the right.

Is anyone able to confirm what they are please? I can't believe the carrying basket had nothing on it!

Pretty good guesses I'd say i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/rolleyes.gif ...the odd one out is a conifer of some sort, obviously.....why don't you take them back and ask?...they shouldn't be selling them un-named i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/sad.gif

Ooh, it must be really bugging you, having no labels

[Jasmine]

Thank you for your help Amber. I was going to ask but any staff I saw were busy with Christmas stuff. I'd like to know what the conifer is just so I know how big it might get!

Thanks for being no help at all Auricula ;D

always happy to be of service Jas

The one on the far right of the 2nd pic is definitely Euonymus emerald gaiety because I've got that too. So that's one that you can get a label on (I know how this must be bugging you i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif )

The one in the middle is something something red edge because MIL has it i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/undecided.gif & I don't think you're far wrong with your other guesses either.

Actually no, it isn't red edge it's red something else, (just forget I mentioned that one i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif )

Isn't that the Red Robin (Photinia)??

The euonymus looks like Silver Queen. I thought the middle one on the bottom row looks more like a photinia Definately looks like Choisyia Sundance on the left.

Is the top middle 'evergreen' looking one soft or spikey Jas?

Thanks Jilly, RF and Tig.
I think you might be right about the photinia...that was me badly wanting it to be Nandina! ;D
The conifer is soft Tig.

Jasmine - the shrub middle bottom may be a Leucothe of some sort i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/undecided.gif
The one top right looks like a Gaultheria - if the berries smell of germolene when crushed then it is i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

[Jasmine]

Thanks Pam.
My Gran used to swear by germolene - will have to crush one of the berries and see if it brings back memories!
I've just googled Leucothea and it looks very similar.

[Geranium]

I immediately thought 'Leucothoe' too. I had one, but it didn't like my soil and pegged out in spite of doses of sequestrene. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/sad.gif I've still got one with curly leaves, though. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

I've got that Choisya too - it isn't as yellow as yours, because it doesn't get enough light where it is. It has never flowered.

[Jasmine]

I think most of the little shrubs in that pack like acid soil which would make sense at a good local GC. The leaves are quite twisty which makes them a bit different to photinia. I see a trip back to the GC coming up! ;D
