Help I.D these plants/shrubs?

[Zomby Plant]

I just moved into an old Victorian (1890).
10 little gardens all came with it around the house.

HELP! I know nothing about gardening and worse then that, I don't know what these plants are. I've taken lots of pictures.


It's okay to laugh at my ignorance
Everyone else is..hehe. Just have mercy.





Please ignor the sweet-gum balls and leaves. I haven't had a chance to get in there and clean the beds up really well yet.

These are smallish plants along the front of the veranda. They look to be about just coming out of dormancy. They stand about 2-3ft tall.

This is very thorny, tall bushes. They stand about 6feet tall. Here's a distant pic.

Here's some closeups of the berries from the thorny bushes that are beginning to come up. They are growing quickly. Two days ago there was only one small cluster. Now, you can see so much more.

The first looks like some sort of ground cover grass similar to Monkey Grass It appears pretty small in the pic. Not sure of the ones with the berries, but the second to last looks like a Dusty Miller in need of some pruning and the last appears to be some type succulent. I'm not a real flower person since my garden consists of a lot of stuff I can eat, but I do have about 20 flowering plants in pots on the porch and a few in the ground in the yard.

The bushy plant with the berries appears to need some trimming since some of it appears to be dead branches. Easiest way for me to tell is to take some good garden sheers and take one of the branches that look to be dry with no sign of new growth and make a cut kind of high on the branch. Keep cutting back until you find live wood. Sometimes that means taking it back to the main stem. It will be obvious if that branch is dead since the pulp will be very dry and not a sign of green.

1. A variegated sedge
2. A type of viburnum
3. Maybe barberry
4. Dusty Miller
5. A type of Sedum

All guesses

Thankyou, Gumbo and Eric.

You've both been a lot of help! Now I can research these and see what I need to do.

You have my full gratitude.

That sedum is a nice little plant. My grandma used them in the corners of her beds, and they put out some pretty (and tiny) flowers, and just spread and spread. I don't remember her doing a thing to them too keep them alive; its one of my favorite plant-it-and-forget-it plants.

Congratulations on your new gardens, and I hope you have a blast learning all about the plants in them!
