Clearing some borders and transplanting most of the plants to other parts of the garden. Wondering what these 3 plants are so I can find out what kind of conditions they prefer. Anyone any ideas?

    The top plant I thought maybe a form of iris??

    The middle plant has very tiny blue flowers throughout most of summer and remains low growing

    The bottom plant flowers now in early spring and tends to die back a little of the summer.

    Anyone any ideas? Many thanks

    Middle one a creeping phlox?

    Bottom one a pulmonaria I think.

    Thank you CharlieBot. I've just had a look on google and the bottom one is a Pulmonaria - Thank you very much image

    I don't think the middle one is a creeping phlox though - it's hard to tell from the pictures but it has dark brown woody stems and the flowers are far more sparse.

    Could the middle one be Lithospermum?

    Try Lithosperimum  for the middle one I have a variety called Heavenly Blue.

    The top one looks like some of my Aliums but I can't remember which one.

    Could the first one be an agapanthus?

    I thought lithospermum (syn. lithodora) too - there is a variety called 'Crystal blue' that has pale blue flowers.  I thought daylily - hemerocallis for the top one and those do look like the remains of leaves around it.
