      I am not sure if the low resolution of photos make it difficult to identify. I cannot add any link unfortunately.

      I think close ups of those basal leaves would be more help.
      Is that two different plants?

      @tristanstartsgardening

      I'm tempted to say ice plants.
      However; I think Plant 1 is a Pulmonaria at least the speckled leaves look like that; the dried stems look too tall though. You've not got more than one plant growing together have you?
      Perhaps some better resolution pictures when they've thawed out might help.

        Resolution looks OK but we need close ups of the leaves when they are clear of ice.

        Remember to click on 'Full Image' and not 'Thumbnail' and they will come up larger. I've changed yours for you :blue thumb: :)

          Yes, two different plants.

          Apologise that the weather made the identification unnecessarily difficult. I mainly want to rule out they are not invasive plants like Japanese Knotweed or Himalayan Balsam.

            If I remember right Japanese Knotweed disappears below ground in late autumn/winter and reappears the following year.
            Himalayan Balsam is a pain, but relatively easy to deal with by rigorous removal before flowering and seeding, should just pull up.

              Thanks for all the answers! I'll keep an eye on them in spring.

              Hi TSG, you might get a pleasant surprise before then. There are hellebore plants in there too, which will flower from Feb onwards :)

                Managed to blow up the pics, bottom one similar to Erigeron but that's just a guess. Also 3 has a leaf similar to Ligularia.
