Hi Emma, where are you located? That might help members when identifying.

I have a number of gardens in my archive but I cannot see how to see them or to reinstate a garden if I need to.

How strange :-) My suggestion was a blue flowered Hydrangea, perhaps Hydrangea serrata 'Diadem', but only down to -15. Many Hydrangeas turn pink in alkaline soil so you have to choose carefully. Below -15 you could plant Buddleja davidii.

If the temperature goes below -10 (= -15 deg) as an alternative, assuming that your soil is acidic.

It is up side down but I think it is one of the Ceanothus. The RHS website has 4 that flower in the summer

It is difficult without a photo of the whole tree, but it could be one of the Sorbus cultivars.

Use a stick/peg and string to create 2 arcs of circles that just touch each other to form the S shape. It would be best to draw these out accurately on paper first so that you can plot the centres of the circles accurately in your garden.

It looks like a Nerine see: https://https://www.shootgardening.com/plant/nerine-bowdenii-f-alba

It looks like: Schizostylis coccinea 'Major' (https://https://www.shootgardening.com/plant/schizostylis-coccinea-major).

According to the RHS the seedlings may appear in the garden from bird-sown seed or seed fallen from a bird feeder,

It looks like wisteria and all of the many cultivars of W. sinensis, floribunda & brachyglottis flower in spring and early summer. Some cultivars flower a little into the summer.

No, it's not comfrey; it has a more rounded leaf and about 30cm long; it is also not in flower at the moment whereas the comfrey is (except the seedlings I have grown from seed this year to have my own patch for fertiliser soup :-) ).

This plant is difficult to kill and is spreading around a dorset village. It have large (30cm) leaves and is growing in woodland, hedgerows and sunny banks.

This is the perfect time to dig it up as it is still cold and showery, just make sure you dig up enough roots then separate them and replan 0.5m apart in soil with added compost, if you then mulch with chopped bark or mushroom compost it will reduce the weeding you have to do. Water heavily each week to give them a good start.

My guess for the third would be Campanula poscharskyana.

This looks like Arum italicum 'Marmoratum' which is a lovely plant for shade. Just spread them out if they are choking other plants as they have lovely orange berries in the autumn as well as the beautiful marbled leaves.

Sorry no, there are so many but I would recommend Hebe rakaiensis for a compact hedge.

Is it Himalayan Balsam? The leaves look similar but I am not sure. Did it have pink flowers and exploding seed pods in late summer?

I have a client who has tried unsuccessfully to kill this plant twice with Roundup, but it still invading his borders and in between the paving slabs. Please can someone identify it and suggest how to kill it?
