Hi there Gardeners World Forum. We have just moved into a new house and there are many plants that I cannot identify so I'll post a few for now and some more later in the week. If someone can identify them , that would be amazing ! Thanks in advance for your help.
1. Agree Corydyline australis. 2. Not sure that Galium triflorum...common name fragrant bedstraw is a match. Or Galium odoratum...common name sweet woodruff Plant looks too well behaved...not straggly enough. Too green and lush looking for late November.
Thanks for your help, really appreciate it. When it stops raining I will post some more. I am in Devon and the weather has not been very cold so all the plants in the garden look quite good for this time of year.
The stems of the 'Galium Odorata' are fleshy more like a type of succulent so I'm not sure that Galium Odorata is correct. Would you be able to take another look please.
I actually thought the first one is a Pony tail Palm tree and not a Cordyline!
Agree with Cordyline. The Pony Tail Palm ( Beacarnea recurvata ) has a much smoother trunk with an obviously swollen base. Considered frost tender. Mine go out in summer ( SW UK ) but indoors once weather turns
I'd say not galium odoratum, the native sweet woodruff. Galium trifolium seems to be an American woodruff, to 2 ft, but I've never seen it. Maybe it's that one? Also has a look of some kind of euphorbia perhaps?
Having 2nd thoughts. Been checking..ruled everything else out that I can think of.....now agree with Uff . Galium odoratum... common name sweet woodruff. It is not straggly. It is evergreen...(esp somewhere like Devon.) Leaf has one main vein...see your pic above cropped and my pic below
Quote....from link below. "Other features: Leaves normally 6-8 in a whorl.
A neat, rather squat plant, not straggling. Leaves with
forwardly-directed prickles along the edges, and one main vein, not three.
Hairy only immediately below each whorl of leaves. "
