I have been coddling three largish cuttings and now plants of what i
thought by leaves etc. was some sort of Hoheria,
Today found they were instead a white flowered Eupatroium unlike the
normal dark pink and white ones I knew.
Leaves are glossy and green and whole plant seems almost like a shrub
the way it grows. Flowers are like Hoheria definitely not purpureum,
well they are white anyway, nearest is maculatum but leaves are smooth
and shiny and growth is very strong on one stem rather than multiple
like most perennials
Which E. would this be please? I've got to identify them if i want to
offload them :)

Yes but leaves are darker green and glossier.

You sound as if you are describing Eupatorium ligustrinium, if you rub the
leaves they have a rather aromatic fragrance as do the flowers, butterflies
love it and its one of my favorite small shrubs, would be large in a mild
place but here the winter takes it back a peg or two each year.

Can you have an evergreen perennial? Or is it a shrub?
Must ask Sacha if she wants one :)
