I live in the UK and have a turning circle in the middle of my front drive (about 8 meters diameter) It is planted with grass, and has a lime tree in the middle. At present it is edged all around with curry plants, and they are looking shabby and dire. I tried keeping them in line by cutting off the flowers (which I did not like anyway) but the snow came, destroyed a lot, and now it all looks just a jumble. Someone suggested replacing them with box, but it will be expensive, and is a bit "classic". Someone else suggested Olea Fragans, but I wonder if they can be kept low and in control. I like the thought of fragrance, but also need low maintenance. Or Holly?
Any and all suggestions gratefully received.
With thanks,
Tara

Something in Sarcococca spp. seems sufficient...

How about a Daphne Aureomarginata - Winter Daphne?
