DUH!!!!
When posting plants that need to be identified it really does help if you give all relevant info at the start!!!! Sadly my crystal ball isn't working this week!
Now you mention it is a bush.
How tall?
Leaves...were they soft grey and hairy?
In that case it must still be there so you need to go back and take clear pics to show detail.
Maybe Brachyglottis.
