  I thought that too @Hostafan1 - pittosporum.
  Not sure of the 2nd, although it's familiar.
  Escallonia possibly for the 3rd.
  
  It's ridiculous though that they don't have things properly labelled. How do they expect people to know how to care for them? 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

  These are sold as sixpack little plants for winter containers or hanging basket. I am thinking of using as edging plants in garden after potting up.

  They have a habit of that - the problem is that without knowing the eventual size of them, it can cause a problem for customers.
  
  I suppose that's what they want though

  I googled pittosporum tom thumb and yes first one does look like it. Thanks hostafan and fairygirl.
  
  Second one ,is it any kind of nandina? Though i doubt they will sell a mini nandina for £1.15. 
  
  Third one is different from Escallonia that i have.

  It's also a bit like Pachysandra - the last one.
  It looks variegated though - two shades of green

  Why do GCs sell un-labelled plants?
  Because people buy them!

  You are invited to a virtual visit of my garden (in English or in French).
