The first looks like an Ilex and the third a Holly. Not sure on the other two. By the way the Ilex is in the Holly family.

#1 looks like dwarf Yaupon, although it could be Ilex crenata 'compacta'.

#2 is lorapetalum

#3 Meserve hybrid holly (many different cultivars)

#4 looks like Tea olive

I agree SNL.


OP, are these new to you, like you just bought this house? Or, have you seen them flower in the past? There's no doubt what #2 is, very pretty color.

Hopefully that Loropetalum is a dwarf type such a 'Ruby', because some of the older cultivars like Zhuzhou Fuchsia can easily grow taller than the eave of the house

I had one pop up in my garden. I moved it to the front of the house, in front of a butterfly bush. Got too big and had to move it. Took me a stinkin hour to dig it up. Moved it to the side of the house. Not sure it will survive but it will have a lot more room to grow there. Not sure of the cultivar. I have moving plants!

Thanks for all of your responses! This was a big help!
