    Hi,

    This summer we finally sorted out our little patch of garden and put in some new plants. We know the names of these but not of the ones that were already there. If anyone can help identify them we would be very grateful. We have 18 plants of which 5 we don't know what they are.


    Overview of whole garden

    Unknown plant 1

    Unknown plant 2

    Unknown plant 3 - some kind of yucca?

    Unknown plant 4 - a more reddy/brown yucca?

    Unknown plant 5 - a kind of ivy?

    All the other plants that we think we do know the names of!


    Any advice for caring for any of the plants also appreciated.

    Many thanks if you can help.

    Matt

    1, is a Euonymus ... but it's a variegated one that's reverting to green, cut off those green bits as far down as you can.

    2,Yep, Lonicera nitida

    3, Cordyline (australis ? ? ) Cabbage palm, looks like one that won't take much frost.

    4, same.. but bronzier

    5, Yep a form of ivy.
