Suitable Shrubs for Year Round.

Hi,
I've been tasked with tidying up and adding new shrubs to the area in front of my local Premier Inn. They want the borders to look tidy, and interesting all year round, and basically improve the look of the front entrance. The shrubs should be colourful and provide all year round foliage. I'm also looking for easy maintenance and not fast, high growing plants. I've attached photos (hopefully) of the front borders either side of the steps, plants should withstand pollution, and cold winters in Aberdeen.

  • Viburnum davidii, Prunus laurocerasus 'Marbled White' (pruned to keep it low), Cornus alba 'Aurea' (although not evergreen has summer, autumn and winter interest), Viburnum 'Le Bois Marquis' looks hardy enough and can be pruned...

  • Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea' a good choice, once established can be pruned in spring, has attractive coloured winter stems. Hypericum 'Hidcote' is evergreen with yellow flowers in summer. Both hardy, suit most aspects and soil and fairly low maintenance, although will need to be kept in check as left without pruning will get too big.

  • Check out local MacDonalds and Tesco car parks to see what 'do' there.

  • Look at evergreen foliage planting, Viburnum tinus Eve Price, Euonymus emrald and gold . emerald gaiety, ilex gold king, silver queen, Heuchera plum pudding, lime marmalade, bergenia cordifolia, vinca minor, lonicera pileata, pachysandra terminalis and terminalis variegata. theres quite alot out there, if you want further help and ideas, msg me.

  • choisyas, escallonias, ceanothus, sarcococcas, pyracanthas, cotoneasters, hebes, myrtus, mahonias...?
