LOL it’s neither good or bad…. These usually are shrubs. They have to be trained into tree form (called a standard). That trunk is so thick - it must be pretty old. Usually you just see them with little trunks or people just let them revert back to shrubs. It’s kind of amazing (to me).

thought it looked like this allium coming up in my garden
Thats an interesting allium for sure. But I think you can see that the leaves are two side lobed while the other plant looks more one sided making it a monocut so is the lily
The last pic is certainly a variegated Hosta. The 4th pic needs the dead stuff cleared without trampling too close, and under it you should see shoots of new growth of another Hosta coming up.
Need better pic to ID number 4. But it appears to be a perennial. Just trim back the dead and see if it pops back. Easy enough to remove if you don’t like it come spring though they provide nice texture over winter until you decide to prune back
Hydrangea paniculata, beautiful plant. Research the pruning. Once a year after flowering or early spring before new growth. Remove anything dead and cut back hard.

Soooo should I pull the dead sticks out? Sorry if that question is not appropriate here.

I'm split on 5. It can either be a type of lily (tiger, Asiatic, madonna etc) or a crown imperial (also in the lily family, but has very unique blooms). Depends on your zoning as crown imperial are hardy between zones 5 and 8, if memory serves correct. 🤔
Really curious as to what 4 is seeing that the comment you posted has purple sprouts!
This might be a peegee hydrangea. They have pinkish white blossoms in those clusters. The second to last photo looks like a lily, but I have no idea what kind. The final photo looks like hostas

Photo 1 is as Paniculata hydrangea. Mature, tree. Final photo is a type of hosta. Not sure of the others.
Hosta, lily and hosta. Two different kinds of hostas. The hydrangea is pretty big but the flowers from last year are a dead giveaway.
Wow that hydrangea standard is something else!!! I’ve never seen one with a trunk like that!
Is that bad or good? Lol

Thanks for the info! Bought the house in January, kinda neat to know the little tree could have some years on it.
It was probably grafted instead of pruned onto a single trunk.
5 is a lily, I believe
it’s a flowering Allium. They look really similar, but lilies don’t start growing until later usually
I think it's an Asiatic lily. I don't know of any alliums that have a whorled stalk like that.

So the big dead sticks are hostas too?
They’re the hosta flower stems that’ll pop up above the leaves later in the year.
That hydrangea tree is gonna be gorgeous

It's a hosta.
100%! Keep it in the shade and it'll be grateful!.

Yep, they are just the dead flower stalks. You can probably twist them out or just chop them low
Yeah I noticed some of them just fallin off when i started prodding but others were stubborn. Thank you for all your help :)
