Hello wonder if anyone could give me some advice...I am getting into the whole gardening lark as i was a complete novice! Anyone recomend any fast growing evergreen bushes/flowers that i can grow? I want to cover up my front wall, it needs to be something that doesnt mind shade and is fairly low maintenance to look after and if possible something that flowers! I don't want much do i lol! Any suggestions would be greatly received! :beer:

I don't like them because of the thorns but pyracantha meets all your criteria. Treat it brutally to stop it growing out too much.

Evergreen, fast growing, flowers, scent, berries, happy partially shaded, low maintenance ie give it a chop once or twice a year - once to control size, second to prune off growth after where the new berries stop
