and the last 3 photos

a very suprised newly keen gardener, i have brought my first house and
there are lots of plant thats i cant identify that i would love to know
what they are.
i have taken pics and wonder if anyone could help please


the first one is like a bush

the 2nd and 3rd are the same plant

the 4th looks like a rhubarb patch to me its so big, but i know it
isnt

the 5th and 6th are the same plant

the 7th has tiny tiny flowers, and there is another plant the same but
just with pink flowers not pictured

the 8th did have a few pink flowers on till i lopped them all off.



Your second and third are a Penstemon (possibly Penstemon 'Garnet'?)
The fourth is a Bergenia (known as Elephant's ears) but it's not easy to
say which variety until it flowers.
Your fifth and seventh look like the same so I'm not quite sure what's
happened here as you seem to imply they're different. Perhaps the photos
are coming up in a different order
