Can anyone identify please

Hi still trying to identify my inherited plants. This geranium does not look like it flowers. Are there ones with just non fragrant leaves?

It looks a little bit like Glechoma, though I'm not certain. Is it very low growing and rapid spreading?

It is not growing or spreading rapidly it is in a pot so may be contained.

There are scented-leaved pelargoniums that have small flowers, I don't know about any that don't flower at all though. Do the leaves have any kind of noticeable scent at all if you rub them? I'm wondering if it's a member of the mallow family which isn't currently in flower - but which one I don't know.

No no scent to leaves

Reminds me of Sidalcea malviflora, one of the varieties of that name, but I'd expect it to have some flowers by now, unless its not flowering cos it's in a pot.

i thought sidalcea too bamboo.

Great minds, Seaburngirl!

Definitely one of the Mallow family.

I thought sidalcea too. It looks like it is in a smallish pot; sidalcea get quite large root systems so perhaps that is why it is not flowering. Pop it in the ground, feed and water it and it should flower.
As a matter of interest there is a pelargonium that does not flower, but it has a cream variagation to the leaves. Its callled Madam Salleron.

first thought was a ground cover Gunnera but similar leaves but they dont come from one point. Sidalcea i agree!

I don't know what it is but I'm pretty sure it's not a geranium. Hope somebody else can identify it.
