We've had this shrub a few years now can't remember where it came from or what it's called, It's always looked a little pale to me and I was wondering if anybody had an idea as to what it might be? then I could check if it was in the right kind of soil. Here the houses are built on old woodland so the top soil is rich 2-3 feet down and it's sand.
At present it stands a little over a meter tall with a similar spread the leaves are lime green turning slightly yellow-ish ' that's the concern' the photo taken on my phone actually shows it a little darker than it is, last year a couple of small white flowers appeared for the first time, strongly and pleasantly scented. As you can see in the photo it looks like were in for a lot more flowers this year.
It also stands in a corner of the front garden that sees little to no direct sun, shaded by the house and hedge.
I wonder if a general feed would green it up a tad
