Name That Plant!
timmy_tucker

Hi everyone. New here... need some help identifying these plants :)

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

Im loving our new house and I have recently started developing the garden. I have found some cuttings from here there any everywhere and they have started to grow, which I am super excited about. However I dont know what they are called, and Im the kind of person who needs to know. Haha.

If I post some pictures of them all could you please help me identify them?

Thanks. Tim :)

    1. is too far away to id. for certain. Possibly Spiraea arguta clipped so it hasn't flowered.

    2. is a Fuchsia - not necessarily a winter hardy one.

    3. is Buddleja - quite likely a self sown one that someone has attempted to cut down.

    4. Sorbus cultivar possibly S aucuparia 'Chinese Lace'.

    5. Philadelphus or Deutzia - new growth is tricky to distinguish. Erring on the side of Philadelphus.

    6. Potentilla fruticosa (see above for the latest name change but still widely referred to as Potentialla.)

    7. Campanula portenschlagiana, a very common self sower.

    8. Aucuba japonica

    All are run of the mill except the Sorbus. If you cadged that one you got a bargain.
