    I think 2/3 is a penstemon but I might be wrong.

    4 looks like Bergenia or Elephants Ears.

    8 looks like some kind of geranium.

    The experts will be about later tho :)

    Just let them do thier own thing and wait until next year to see what else you have lurking around in there. Looks like a nice crop of colourfull plants you have there. I would just wait and see, don't cut anything back though.

    7 could be a verbena :)

    the leaves look like the ones on mine!

    edit - and I think 5\6 is an oxalis looking at the leaves but could prob be wrong lol!

    I'm pretty sure 5 + 6 are Oxalis - these should be dying back now, and will reappear in Spring.
