Can anyone identify these please

Anyone know what these plants are ?

The first is some sort of oxalis, I think, though possibly a clover. Some of them are attractive, the wild type might be considered a weed. I'd be inclined to leave that one to flower before deciding what to do with it.

Not sure about 2. If you dig a bit up, does it have a bulb?

3 - possibly bluebell or some sort of allium. Again, I'd wait for the flowers to make a decision on it.

Thank you. Yes I do have some bluebells pop up so I think that's got to be the third one. So first one is a weed 😆 will see what flowers on it, I'm sure they're are little pink flowers they close on the evening ?

Any chance you know what kind of tree/bush this one is ?

Also any idea what the red flower is in the bottom of the last pic ? Sorry complete garden newbie !

3rd one in bluebells.

The red flower is a peony, I think. They must be indestructible because I haven't killed mine.

First pic definitely clover/weed - dig it up!
Second, some kind of grass - dig it up!
Third, bluebell. If it is big flowered/coloured, it is European and invasive - best to dig it up, they are a pain and seed everywhere.

Bush with pink flowers looks like a Weilega - nice shrub. You can cut them hard back and they will always shoot up and flower.

Red flower is a peony. Will flower in spring, and then just have leaves, and then die back in the winter. Comes up every year.

Thank you for the replies!

Regarding the weilega - is it possible to dig up and replant or is it to established now ? Obviously atm it has no leaves on it, but where it is now is due to be dug up and have a patio down, I don't want to lose it but not sure if it can be moved

2 looks like Carex pendula or sedge. Get rid of it before it gets any bigger. They produce thousands of seeds every summer and self seed everywhere and can be a nightmare to get rid of once established.

If you want to move the weigela do it now as it is best to do so whilst they are dormant. Dig a big hole around it and try to set as much of the root ball as possible. When it is in its new home water it well and it should be fine.

This is my issue - when the garden is dug up the whole of it will be so I won't have anywhere to put it until the new borders are ready so basically once I take it out I can't replant it straight away

You could buy a big black bucket/trug and keep it in there for a while. They do survive if you water them.

A friend had to dig up most of her garden due to honey fungus. She potted up most of the shrubs and has replanted many. You could always give it a try. Shame to lose it.

That sounds like a cultivated variety of oxalis rather than a weed.

If I put the weigela in a pot do I put just soil in or compost or both? 🤣 sorry I'm useless ! Really is very pretty when it's flowered though and provides a lot of foliage so that garden doesn't look bare so really don't want to lose it if I can help it. I also have 3 rose bushes, can I do the same with those ?

The first looks like wood sorre/oxalis-we have this in our garden. It’s got pretty flowers and keeps well contained. I like it!

The third looks like bluebells.

I think I'd dig it up with plenty of soil and then use a mix of soil and compost when replanting. No particular rationale! Weigelias are generally pruned after flowering iirc, it might be an idea to prune it so that there's less top for the roots to have to support. Depending on how long it's going to be out, if you haven't got a big enough pot I'd think something like a compost sack might serve.

First is definitely Oxalis not clover. There are some Oxalis which are sold as garden plants, others which arrive in birdseed or whatever.

I don't think the second is grass. It would be worth leaving that until it flowers - it looks as if it's been planted deliberately. I'm pretty sure it's not Carex pendula - Carex pendula leaves are M-shaped in section, which yours aren't. And it doesn't seem to have an obvious enough central nerve to be a grass.

Note it's a Weigela not a Weilega. (Helps to have the spelling approximately right if you need to google). Dig it up with a huge rootball - basically the same volume as the top growth. You may find it best to work a tarpaulin under one side once you get about a yard deep. You're going to think about how to get it out- that amount of soil will weigh about half a tonne. Levers and wedges may be involved. We successfully moved a mature lilac with a similar sized rootball. Once it's out and on to the tarpaulin on level ground, drag it to somewhere out of the way and in the shade, and water it to keep the rootball damp.

Or you may feel it's a better use of your resources to ditch it and buy a new one when you're ready.
