Solved (scabious) Some mystery plants I got

I have been given some plants and I'm trying to work out if I have them for another year.



I love this plant. It has white flowers, fern like leaves and the seed heads are pretty too. This one is very leggy, it got planted in a spot not quite suitable for it (and the hydrangea took over!). What is it and can I gather seeds from it?



This is a bit sad, was a bit neglected but I said I'd take it. Little purple, pink and white flowers? Is it annual or perennial?



This I think might be some kind of bean plant? Another rescue, worth potting on? As you can see it's healthy but not very big. Might be too late?

 

Hi
I think the 1st picture is " Scabious" hardy perennial

Oh yes I think it is. Thanks! Looking at pictures I think it is scabiosa 'moon dance'/ webbiana. Apparently you can divide it - I only have the one plant, I assume I should wait? Can I gather seeds?

 

I dont know how large your plant is if possible to divide I would wait till the spring , yes you can save the seed but they dont grow true to type (ie they may be a different colour and size)

Thanks, it's not big enough to divide so I may just try the seeds - quite intrigued to see what happens!
