Recently moved into a new house and have no idea what this is could anyone help?

Some ilk of an oleander?
I wish mine looked half as healthy, if I'm right!!

Possibly a Hebe - maybe H. salicifolia.

I think it's a hebe. There's an awful lot of species/varieties, and I don't "do" hebes myself, so not much more help than that.

Hebe? - I think you can see the dead flower spikes.

Was in Naas (rhymes with mace for you foreigners) on Monday (buying
lunch in M+S) and on to Pollardstown Fen to see if it is still there.
It was still there. We stopped at the monster garden centre
(Johnstown?) on way back. It is a horrible place in many ways (piped
"music" in the half/outdoors area) but it does have a huge range of
stuff. Bought seeds and onion sets.

Definitely Hebe and if it isn't salicifolia, it is almost certainly a
hybrid with that species in its recent background. The trouble is
that many Hebes are highly promiscuous and interbreed freely,
resulting in a mess of hybrids that are a devil to nail a definitive
ID. They also seed quite freely and volunteer plants are not uncommon
so un-named hybrids occur with regularity. A picture of the plant in
flower might help, but there's a few months to go before it
performs.

Thanks for your replies.
Its narrowed it down a lot for me.....Ill see if I can find out what kind of hebe it is. Seems very nice anyway so I won't be moving it
