    It's a Buddleia.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I'm so sorry Bob, but we do have buddlea too, it's not the right leaf or flower and yes, too early. It's very much a lilac type flower, slight scent but the leaves are elongated

    I have a Korean lilac that has leaves different to the normal lilac leaves, but I'm not sure they match yours

    Hi Pete, I did wonder if that's what it is. Thankyou

    Thanjs Pete, it could be, flowers very similar and some of the leaves are elongated like mine
