I think it may be Geranium Sanguineum Striatum. I agree with Bamboo about the size. A geranium for the front of the border or a rockery.

Hi Inverglen...I looked up the variety 'Striatum' and it seems really pink (dont care for pale pink flowers)...then i tried just Sanguineum and the picture that came up looks like it...so thank you very much...:>)

I've had this in my garden for about 30yrs. I agree with Bamboo on the size. With mine I split it every few years as it tends to go a bit shabby..... the smaller plants fill out and flower quickly. Don't know its proper name though...only that its a geranium.

There are so many varieties of Geranium available, hard to say exactly which one this is. By the look of the leaves, though, you'll probably find it spreads about a foot to 18 inches at most, with a height of probably not more than 8 inches. And if I had to give it a name, I'd say it was probably a Geranium endressi variety
