Need Plant ID Help Fast [View all]

I was given this lovely bush last night, but I need to get it into the ground fast. Trouble is, my Taylor's Guide to Shrubs is not helping me. I am going to go back through it again, but I'm not sure how successful I will be on a second attempt.

What do you think this is? I need to know so I choose the appropriate sun for it.

Isn't it lovely? I am so thrilled to have it!
