Can anyone help me identify two shrubs in my garden please. We planted these about four years ago and they are in flower at the moment. The flowers look quite alike but the foliage is totally different. The prickly one has larger flowers and looks a bit like holly leaves. The other one has softer small leaves and they both flower at the same time. When we landscaped it four years ago, we bought most of the shrubs from a garden centre that was closing down. They were quite neglected and pot bound and of course no plant labels at all. The have all flourished with a bit of TLC.
Thanks in anticipation.
Edited by moderator to add descriptive title.
Original title too generic....... (Identify Shrubs)
see rule 11

Seems spot on.
The last two pics appear to show Spiraea nipponica, possibly Spiraea nipponica "Snowmound".
Commonly known as Snowmound |
Many thanks GPI, shame the flowers don't last a bit longer. It is so pretty.
