Plant id please

Hello,
Would be very grateful if you could help me to identify four plants/weeds growing in my new garden please! Thank you so much!

1. I think this is ground elder from looking at an earlier thread


2. (the lighter coloured one that isn't the ivy?)


3. ?


4.?

    @Smallcopper First pic is ground elder. Second looks Heuchera related but to me not worth keeping.
    Third is a weed but cannot think of name. Fouth looks like dock. They all need to go but beware they will have probably set seed and lots more will grow.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    I'll confirm ground elder for the first.
    Not sure of the 2nd. Might be autumn anemone.
    3rd looks like Jack by the hedge, garlic mustard.
    I think 4th is docks.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Agree with @nutcutlet Not that exciting but a garden plant for shade.

    Tellima grandiflora "happened" in my garden and at first I took it for a heuchera (same family). I rather like it. It self-seeds and propagates easily and I confirm that it has a pleasant scent when in flower. Here are some pics taken today:

  • Thank you nutcutlet, GardenerSuze and Papi Jo! I'll leave mine for a bit and see what happens!
