FOUR GREAT WALL SHRUBS

Trachelospermum

Better known as star jasmine, grow this woody climber in a sunny, sheltered spot, ideally a south-facing wall.

Pyracantha

Good for a cool spot in partial shade, pyracantha is low maintenance and the birds love the berries.

Cotoneaster

Popular with gardeners (and birds), it’s resilient and happy against a north wall, although will need tying in.

Ceanothus

Grows well trained against a sunny south or west-facing wall, producing silky blue tassels of flowers.
