The purple one is a knautia or scabious. The bottom one is a Salvia hot lips.
The argyranthemum will probably be killed by frosts. Take cuttings now and keep on a windowsill. The scabious can be cut down and will regrow in Spring. Cut down the Salvia hotlips in Spring, down to a new shoot. If you leave it over winter , the top growth will protect the base. A mulch wouldn't hurt either.
The Thunbergia will probably be killed by frost as well. easy to grow from new seed each year.

thank you very much! I'm planning on sorting and mulching a bit tomorrow so it's good to know today what to leave and what to chop.
Thanks
The second to last photo with he red and white flowers is Salvia x jamensis 'Hot Lips' (Sage).
EDIT: Just spotted you'd already been told that, so apologies for the repeat.
