Mystery plant
By Craftyemma

I bought two of these plants from the garden centre as they were cheap and I needed to fill some gaps. There was no information about it and nobody to ask, can anyone help? Thanks, Emma.

not easy to say, the only thing that comes to mind is Photinia which is evergreen , new leaves are coloured changing to a leathery green ( red robin) but there are others --I also think its also called a stransvasia -

Leucothoe also looks like this.
Some have cream tinges present too.

i'd go with photinia too, the leaves are too glossy for weigela in my experience.

I thought photinia too....mind I'm not familiar with leucothoe....
24 Jul, 2009
Leucothoe was my first thought too.
24 Jul, 2009
It looks like photinia, except the leaves are too narrow - I'm going with Leucothoe currently - unless its growth changes as it grows.

I'm in the Leucothoe camp.

I have phontinia and the leaves are wider than this, dont know the other
but will be team photinia as it maybe a baby still

No, Mookins - just asking for a suggestion as to who could be referee - just a bit of fun.

Hi all, many thanks for the great replies to my question. I've googled the suggested names and am convinced it is a Leucothoe. I'm looking forward to it flowering now :) Thanks again!
