Ids and pruning idea...

sweet pea Sarah

A few more ids.
the first is a shrub which is basically two stems which are top heavy.First I’d like to know what it is and how best to prune it so it doesn’t snap in the future.
The second has just popped up.
the third I presume is a bulb/tuber.wondered if it is some kind of lily??? Never seen it before but have seen it in a few gardens round here.Must be quite a tough plant as some is coming up through gravel.

Don’ know the first two, but the 3rd pic I think is sisyrinchium.

Number 3 is Sisyrinchium striatum, commonly known as satin flower or pale yellow-eyed grass. The flowers are quite pretty. It spreads very easily and quite rapidly but is easy to pull up if unwanted.

In winter some of the leaves tend to blacken and rot and need removing. And, it's a snail magnet, they hide amongst the leaves.

Number two might be elderberry.

I thought first one was Goat Willow. Sisyrinchium self seeds like mad so dead head if you don't want them all over the garden.

Borderline

What height is the top heavy shrub and is it evergreen.

Second photo could be a number of perennials. It looks a bit like a  Eupatorium.

Borderline the top heavy shrub is about 6-7foot high and I think the second one is Eupatoriam.
