Hydrangea hedge

Leggy cotoneaster here too - because I'm lazy about cutting it back - like most of the shrubs actually.
There's a big hebe in the front garden here - the bees love the flowers. Not a thing of great beauty but its evergreen, wildlife friendly and doesn't mind being hacked about a bit.

Now you’re talking my language! The hebe sounds perfect. It ticks all the boxes. Now I need to learn what it looks like so I can acquire cuttings if I spot any   .
