Hello all, I was hoping some of you may be able to identify a few plants for me?! I have done a lot of clearing work in our new garden and I have no idea what these ones are!

Many thanks!

Number one is a Japanese anemone. Number two looks like a Hydrangea - and from the shape of the leaves it could be Hydrangea quercifolia - the oak-leaved hydrangea and number three is an Aster of some sort.
What lovely 'finds' in your garden
1. is a Japanese anemone, 2.is Hydrangea Quercifolia, the oak-leaved hydrangea, and 3. looks like an Erigeron.
Oh wow thanks guys! Never knew a hydrangea could look like that! Amazing, thanks once again!
I have two of those Hydrangeas - foliage is lovely. You should hopefully get good autumn colour on it Missy Krissy
Looks like you have Phalaris (Gardener's Garters) there around it - it can be invasive so you might want to keep an eye on that as it could spoil your view of the hydrangea, as well as competing for water and nutrients.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Oh goodie, will look forward to watching its leaves change colour too!
The Phalaris that you mentioned - Is that the variegated leafy plant behind it Fairygirl?
It is. It looks like it's already making a bid to take over the world...
