Found in a very frost damage pot behind the shed.

Rhododendron or azalea is the best I could come up with. They look like cuttings someone has forgotten about or not had time to sort.

It's a Rhododendron.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Not that it helps, but there are mature examples of both in the garden. 

Are they both the same thing or does the front ones leaves look a little more rounded - could just be me.  :unsure:

Oh the powers of mobile technology. I took the pics outside to compare with our plants and yes, the front one could well be Skimmia (sorry Snowy) and the back one rhodo.

Nice find behind the shed!!
