Not Hebe. Never heard of Boswood??? It is a Daphne...but not Daphne odora Looks like Daphne x transatlantica Eternal Fragrance. Or Daphne x transatlantica Pink Fragrance. Or similar.
Ditto to a Daphne I'm guessing 'boswood' is a typo for Box[wood] (Buxus) - it isn't that though, as Box doesn't have showy flowers, just inconspicuous greenish-yellow ones.
OK, so a Daphne. But the translatlantica Eternal and Pink Fragrance both seem to have longer leaves... Why does the odora not fit? or the Burkwoodii?
Daphne odora and D. x burkwoodii both have longer leaves, different shape it seems to me. I posted a Daphne with smaller leaves as D. x transatlantica, which nobody corrected. Appreciation: - Flowers that bloom in the fall.
I am delighted that I was able to assist with your query. Your thanks was much appreciated. I grow many different Daphne...I love them. But to id accurately from pics is hard. Nor do I know them all. Surely it is sufficient that you now know for sure it is a Daphne not a Hebe or Boxwood.? Daphne odora is a larger shrub, leaves larger/ flowers are larger /it flowers in spring. See pics below.. also for D.x Trans Whilst these pics show Daphne x trans Pink Fragrance..much smaller shrub, smaller leaves and flowers. These are Daphne x trans Eternal fragrance. Flowers are paler
