1 - looks a bit like curry plant . Does the leaves smell like curry when you crush? 2 & 3 - acanthus (bears breech's) maybe 4- blue flowers look like bedding echium, not sure what the variegated leaves are. (it looks to me like there are 2 different plants together here. If they are all one plant then I don't know as the leaves aren't right for echium

2 & 3 are definitely acanthus and 4 is pulmonaria ( I have it growing in my garden but not as well as it's doing in yours).

1 looks like lambs ears, brachyglottis greyi. Check if the leaves feel soft, like a lambs ear. The other, yes acanthus and polmonaria.

Funnily enough I was about to say photos 2 and 3 were always known as "Harry's" plant in our family because Harry gave it to Mum and Dad and they never knew the proper name. It grew lush and rampant in our Auckland garden and had tall "flower" spike things at certain times of the year.
