Default Anyone clued up on shrubs?

Not such an easy question to answer. As TNP says, shade is the
problem. Lots of possibilities for shrubs that do well in good light
or sunshine, but not so many for shade, given your other requirements
of habit, flowering and fragrance.


With taller plants/shrubs I've wondered about the definition of shade.
Up against or a few metres away from a fence the lower part of the shrub
may be in full shade but the top of the shrub above 1.5 metres could be
in full sun during much of the day. Would a shrub recommended for full
sun be OK be suitable once it had grown tall enough (or purchased at a
1.5 metre height)?
