To prune or not to prune? Is this a type of Heather? Should I remove from small planter?

This was an inherited planter which I'm unsure as to what to do. All thoughts welcome

If you want to keep them, I'd cut them back by at least half, although the one on the left looks like an ex heather to me. I'd also take them out of that trough and repot or plant out. Can't tell what they are - I probably shouldn't say this, but if they were mine, they'd be on the compost heap, frankly.

Look dead/dying to me I wonder have you not watered them?

They've had plenty of water, never mind :-(

I would remove it and use the container for something new if you want to.
