Good plant #5 - Philadelphus Coronarius 'Aureus'
If you like scent in the garden, this deciduous shrub is amazing. It also has really bright green/gold leaves and produces bucketloads of white scented flowers on mature specimens. You have to be quite careful pruning because if you hack at it too much it won't flower so well, if at all. It does best in sunny sites and will tolerate some drought. You can do cuttings in autumn.
