Some more plants needing id please

Hi, I was so grateful for all the help I had on my last threads asking for identification and hope I won't seem too rude to be straight back here again asking for more assistance!

I was working in my lady's garden again today and there were several more plants which she wanted identifying. The first two are the same plant. Any ideas welcome. I have another thread too. Thanks again in advance

 

Sorry can't help, but looking forward to finding out what number 3 is, its very pretty.

 

Nos. 1 and 2. Looks like Buddleia globosa
No. 3. Rhododendron
No. 4. Could be some kind of Geranium, possibly one of the the wild ones, usually known as Crane's-Bill.
No. 5. Sweet William
No.6. Griselina

 

I think Trunky has it nailed.

Apart from no3, its a chlorotic Rhododendron.

 

Almost, no 1 and 2 is Cistus purpureus. No 6 pittosporum.

 

Fab! You lot are great. Yes, I like the look of the rhododendron leaves too. The hedge leaves look more like Griselina to me in a larger pic I have of it.

 

No.6 Well spotted Scillonian, I got that one wrong, Pittosporum it is.
Still unsure about 1 and 2, but I'm leaning towards your Cistus!

 

Hi Twig

As Pete said, it would appear that the Rhodo (no 3) is suffering from chlorosis - the leaves aren't supposed to have that yellowing. It's likely an iron deficiency which could be over come with a feed with sequestered iron such as Maxicrop or Vitax or else some Sequestrene

It would help to identify why it doesn't like its position - could be poor drainage or wrong soil type.

Thank you trunky for confirming Pittosporum.

Hi merleworld, thank you for your highly useful advice on the rhododendron. I shall take all this information with me when i go back on Friday. I thought the leaves looked pretty with the yellow colouring and didn't occur to me it wasn't meant to be like that

I shall do some research on rhododendrons and also look at the soil. I can take a sample to check the ph. They like acid soil don't they?

Great advice, thank you.

 

They do like the soil to be on the acidic side. If you can let us know what sort of soil it's in that would be useful
