Help us map our new garden

Hi all, 

We had our garden planted in February after a kitchen and backyard renovation. Our gardener was amazing, and did a great job giving us a space we love. 

Unfortunately, due to the Covid situation, he is unreachable, and we're struggling with plant identification. I am hoping to lay down micro-irrigation soon, but want to make sure I only water plants that need periodic watering. 

Can you help us with the below? We'd really appreciate it. 



(Brackets indicate our notes, but please correct where we're wrong.)

Photo 1

1 - (Rosemary)
2 - 
3 - (Chrysanthemum?)
4 - (has a single large flowering stem emerging in the center)
5 - 
6 - (same as 2)

I've got several photos just like this, but let's start here before I spam the board.

Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum :)
     2 and 6 are heucheras (don't know which variety though)
    5 is a Hebe 
    Number 1 is possibly a creeping phlox,  but l am not sure.

    I am surprised your gardener didn't leave you a planting list or put in plant labels.
    No 2 are Heuchera
    No 4 might be an Allium 
    No 5 is a Hebe
    But the others are too small for me to see properly

    3. Maybe Hydrangea?
    4. Probably Allium.
    5. Looks like Hebe.
    6.. Heuchera.

    Brilliant!

    So, from your comments, I've googled and think you're bang on. BTW, we're sure 1 is Rosemary as we've been cooking with it quite a bit. :-)

    1 - Rosemary
    2 - Heuchera 'Coral Bells'
    3 - ?
    4 - Allium (Gigantium?)
    5 - Hebe 'Sapphire'

    Here's a better photo of 3:

    I think (only think), it's a type of carex. Could be an oshimensis (sp) type ?

    7 - Carex Oshimensis
    8 - Verbena bonariensis
    9 - Heuchera 'Coral Bells'
