Help with identication


Hello-I'm hoping some kind person can help me identify these two plants-both are in large pots. The first is a "woody" shrub-been in the pot for years but grows well each year.
The second is a perennial-die's back each year-nice "greeny-bronze" foliage but has never flowered.
Any help or suggestions gratefully received.
Thank You
John

Hi John,
The first is a Spirea. Don't know the second, sorry
The second looks like one of the Eupatoriums but I would expect that to flower so probably not.
Everything flowers, so why not this one?
In the sticks near Peterborough
Second is Eupatorium chocolate. Mine flowers in October / November time. It has recently changed its name, and been allocated to a new genus, but its new name escapes me.
Agree with Spirea for the first.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Now called Ageratina altissima 'Chocolate':
Probably not getting enough food to flower.
Thank you all very much-solved my problems !
