Please Identify Plants In This Photo

Can someone identify the two plants to the left of the statue in the attached photo? One leaf is variegated and the other is a solid lime green. Are those plants likely to be evergreen in zone 9b?

The original picture is definitely a Weigela. It is NOT a variegated Euonymus. Your app is wrong. They often are.

Based on leaf shape and arrangement, variegation and remains of the spent flowers, I'd guess weigela. Not evergreen and subject to reversion.

Chris - Thanks so much for providing your insight and I think you're spot on on both. Does anyone happen to know what the low green plant in the forefront of the border is? That one is baffling everyone I've shown the photo too.

there is a fern that i used to buy for my house when i didn't have a yard. wish i could find it. can't discribe it except to say that it looks like fingers and doesn't seem that the leaves are evenly spaced, but i can't remember. i think it had a long finger with two side fingers at the top. that is a long time rememberance. in my mind i also think of ET. great to know the deer don't eat ferns. hostas are okay, but i gave most of mine away already. would also love some walking fern after seeing it on the botanical website. when i look for catalogs on ferns they only seem to each have a few.

Looks more fungal than bugs. But I agree with Jean. I wouldn't worry. It is the end of August. Are the actual pumpkins developing well? Then not to worry. Keep in mind that once annual plants (and pumpkins are one) begin developing fruits, they throw everything into the fruits. And especially as we move closer to fall, leaves of most species take more damage from many things. You can expect the leaves to look progressively less healthy. If the fruits are developing well, then everything is as it should be. No worries. Nothing to fight.

A third. It's definitely a reverting variegated Weigela. Pink flowers. Not evergreen anywhere.

Is there any ivy or variegated vine that would have a similar leaf and stay evergreen in zone 9b?

Instead, consider Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Marjorie Channon' or Rhamnus alaternus ‘Variegata’. They at least bear a resemblance to the weigela wrt foliage appearance. If you are just going for the variegation, Buxus sempervirens 'Variegata', Daphne x burkwoodii 'Carol Mackie' or Pieris japonica 'Variegata' could work. ALL are evergreen.

Possibly a variegated Trachelospermum for an evergreen vine.

@floral_uk z.8/9 SW UK I would love to find a variegated Trachelospermum. I can't locate one from a mail order nursery in the US. It's there somewhere.

I'm surprised. A quick Google turn up multiple US sources when I tried it.

Ease of location by mail order may be hampered by CA ag restrictions. However, this OR nursery does offer it with no shipping restrictions.

https://www.forestfarm.com/trachelospermum-jasminoides-variegatum-trja027.html

Should also be available at area nurseries/garden centers. It is here.

For an idea of the appearance this is a variegated Trachelospermum jasminoides I passed this morning. Growing in a front garden near me. (The red buds belong to a Virginia Creeper.)

@floral_uk z.8/9 SW UK That's quite nice. Do they prefer partial shade?

They're happy in partial shade. I wouldn't say they 'prefer' it. They're also happy in full sun.
