  • Plant identification please?

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone can id. a couple of plants for me. I wasn't sure where to put this but they're not edibles (that I'm aware of) so here seemed best. I have been attacking a fairly neglected garden (my first) and have found a few mystery plants.

    Can anyone tell me if these are weeds, or pretty things I should keep?



    Thank you!

    1 looks like Honeysuckle with nibbled leaves.
    2 another honeysuckle that the beasties haven't got at!
    3 a fuscia of some sort, possibly small flowered and hardy.

    If you have space keep them all.

      Oooh, exciting answers - I love honeysuckle!

      I'm think the leaves of the first are shaped that way though, not nibbled. They're like that all the way along the stem...

      But if they are honesuckle and fuscia then that's fab news - thank you

          Thank you! After weeks of battling with bluebells (I love them but they're like weeds) it's lovely to find something I can keep. Will they both be ok to move? I'd hate to kill them by being clumsy.

            I reckon you could risk moving them as long as you take a good sized root ball with each one

            ETA : you could use some microrrhysal fungi to help with the transplant as well, and make sure the watering is kept up once they are in their new places.
