    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.
