What are my plants!?

A few months ago I ordered some mini plants from Suttons on special offer. Stupidly I threw away the tags which told me what they were!! They're coming along nicely but I wondered whether there was any clever gardeners out there who may be able to tell me what each one is? Then I can get an idea where/how to plant them.

Any help appreciated ... I know I was a numpty for throwing away the labels!

    I think number 2 is Petunia
    Number 3 is Lobelia
    and number 4 is Bizzie Lizzie

    and ... ahem ...... number one is a Leek. (Only kidding).

    Excellent - that's a good start. Going to see and see what the flowers are like now.

    No idea what no 1 is .... maybe they are leeks?! I can't see how they would grow into flowers!

    Number 1 could be Tradescantia (don't know the full name ).

    oh, that sounds promising. Not sure if I recognise the name from when I did have the labels.

    Ps any tips for my lobelia? They just fall over and die!

    No 1 could be gazinia. Lobelia is very tempramental. Don't overwater or they will curl their toes up. Leave them until they're big enough to go into your container or border
    I get paid to smell great :j

    If you bought online suttons I think have your order details this might eliminate some plants
