Evergreen shrubs
in Plants
I'm looking for some evergreens that are mound shaped, grow to about a metre or so in height, pink flowered if poss (already got a lot of purple). The bed I'll be putting them in gets full sun and the soil is clay. I've looked at Hebe Great Orme online which looks perfect but RHS say it doesn't like frost.
Do any of you have any other suggestions please, or found that this shrub actually copes well in these conditions?

Sorry - I can't think of any mound shaped shrubs with pink flowers, but there are hardy fuchsias available with pink flowers, and many of them are almost evergreen, and some might be totally evergreen. They can be pruned into shape. Likewise, Escallonia. It's evergreen, and the pink ones are pretty hardy.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Abelia 'Edward Goucher' is a glossy semi evergreen shrub that can colour red in the colder months, but generally dark green glossy leaves. Flowers for long periods in the summer. Again, responds well to a bit of shaping.
Sorry white flowers not pink!
