GregB suggested it could be Erica quadrangularis - we have dropped a sample off at the gardens herbarium as well for ID confirmation.

Erica quadrangular does seem a good fit, but unfortunately it is also a know environmental weed. Can you please keep us informed re the gardens ID.

Not Spanish heath as leaves are wrong dimensions. Well done to Ranger @Shazw for spotting this new Erica species.
