Plant or weed?

Hi folks, would anyone like to help me with a little game of "Plant or Weed?" please, got some stuff in my garden that I have no idea what it is:
Is this one bluebell (faded bluey flower in foreground although a bit dead now, greenery to go with it in background - sorry rubbish picture)

Not sure what this is but got a few clumps of it round the garden - can't decide if I like it or not although quite cool how the water droplets collect on it.

Not sure what this is but it grows well, some kind of grassy reed?

First picture looks like bluebell.
Second one is a Sedum. It will get large flat pink flowers in the late summer which the butterflies like.
Not sure about the third one, it looks like some sort of grass or grain crop, do you have a farm nearby which grew something similar last year?0 -

Had one in my garden last year. It grows really fast and thick. I should dig it up before it gets as big as mine. I had to cut down all the leaves before I could dig it up and it took forever.'Yaze whit yeh hive an ye'll niver wahnt'
