evergreen shrub in a windy garden

We want to know what evergreen shrub to plant in a windy part of the garden. We have a brick wall with a metre gap to the house where the wind whistles through. What evergreen plant could we plant there that would not be affected by the wind? So far, we have had a red robin there and currently a laurel and neither have done well.

We would appreciate your help.

Thanks

Tricia and Alan

Silk tassel (Garrya elliptica)
Pacific wax myrtle
Artemisia (Southernwood, common wormwood, California sagebrush and white mugwort)
Buxus (Buxaceae) – otherwise known as boxwood
Juniper bushes
