Hi all, Would appreciate any help you guys / girls could give in identifying the below, I haven't decided whether or not to keep them yet when tidying and making my garden all nice, what they are could very much have an impact - Anything you could tell me about them, i.e. trimming / cutting them info or any maintenance requirements would also be very much appreciated.

Try using Tinypics luseth First one is Cherry Laurel. Not sure of the second one. Third one is Eleagnus "Limelight".4th is the same plant, 5th I`m not sure of, could be Leycesteria. 6th is Phormium at the top and Euonymus Emerald and Gold at the bottom. 7th is, not sure what we should be looking at.  |

Hello and welcome luseth..first pic I'd say was Choiysa, no 2 creeper I can't make out the leaves, 3 & 4 agree with daitheplant is Eleagnus, 5 silver birch leaves, 6 silver birch trunk and 7 silver birch tree. The grass in the foreground is Miscanthus  |

grindle daitheplant I'm a bit confused..photo 1 has leaves in three sections which means ternate or ternata depending on how you're describing said leaf and a cherry laurel has a singular leaf

I believe - based on the pegs - that Picture No. 7 is a clothes line ?

Homebase is a good idea @josie21  are the rabbits ears silver colour? - have a look at Stachy Byzantina - that's like soft velvet - sorry can't suggest anything for the other one |

They could be something like verbascum or even foxgloves joysie21 or stachys as daisy suggests, you could wait & see if they flower, you might like them even if they are weeds! |
