The one further back looks like a Lavateria. Can't make the nearer ones out clearly enough. More photos, please

Oh, and the one on the far right, that's a spade! But, it does need to be moved to make the most of it...

Hi, I can only help with one-towards the front-second plant in from the left is lady's mantle (common name). It's the one with the very small yellow flowers.The slightly pink looking ones-one at the front and one back right, might be hebe's? Someone who can do better than me is sure to be along soon

thanks all!

Main one i needed was the lavateria as this has taken over this year!

I have a geranium which has come back and yes the others are hebes but been squashed by the lavateria

I thought the spade looked good there!;)

if i trim the lavateria now will it still flower? or am i too late?

Yes, the tall pink plant looks like Lavatera & the one (left) with yellow flowers in Lad's Mantle (watch it because it will be everywhere before you know it. It spreads like fury)
The plant behind it is a form of Yarrow (Achillea).
The others aren't clear enough on the photo to be sure, sorry.

Yes, definitely, I trim the one in my garden at all sorts of odd times of the year and it just keeps on flowering.
If you prune just above a leaf joint it will produce another branch from that point.

Also if you want more plants and have any spare ground, pinch off the lower leaves of the cutting and just stick it in the ground, it is always useful to do this in the autumn anyway as insurance against weather damage to mother plant.

On the 2nd pic, the red flowered dark leaved plant at the bottom of the picture is a dahlia, possibly 'Bishop of Llandaff', the pink small flowered one in the middle looks like a geranium, the red flowered one at the top/back looks like some kind of monarda.
