I planted them last year, but did not keep the tag that came with them. I know they are perennials, but I can't remember what they look like! I would like to divide them to get more plants, but need to know what their blooms look like. Thanks so much!

    the second pic looks like milk weed, you can try a group on facebook called Plant Identification, they are pretty helpful

    Are the leaves on the first plant toothed/serrated? It reminds me somewhat of physotegia (obedient plant).

    I think it's obedient plant too. Bend one of the branches. If it stays how you bent it, it is obedient plant, hence the name. Look it up on a plant site to see it in bloom.

    It looks like a balloon plant to me small buds will form at the top and the flowers look like small hot air balloon blue, pink, or white is very hardy will grow anywhere but does best in sunny areas. I have about 6 plants, they will self seed and will have different colored flowers than what is on the Mother plant. Wait for the blooms ithey are really pretty .I am refering to the second photo I don't know the plant in the first photo.
