Jac - that looks like the wild one 'Herb Robert' I think is its common name. Has it got a tight central rosette, slightly raised off the ground?

I am sorry - it does have tiny pink flowers, but it can turn into an absolute menace and spreads itself everywhere. It's very easy to pull out, but of course it's up to you. I class it as a weed and pull it out immediately I see one!

Hi Spritz thanx 4 your help :) I know the Wild Herb Rob 1 well & this isnt it ! This has a Thicker /Shinner Leaf ? :)

In that case, I am a bit doubtful if this is a geranium, Jac. Sorry!

?Ok Thanx Spritz :)

Is it an Anenome then?

Or Geranium Maderense - very small deep pink flowers?

Is that evergreen Denise? It's not hardy, either - so I don't think it can be - it would be very dead after the frost/snow! :-((

Yes it is evergreen Spritz

Member Tastygee thought thats what this was Drc! Maybe we`l all know 4sure when it flowers Spritz :)

Dont think it flowers in its first year how old is it Jacque?

I got it as a Baby last Spring Drc :)

So it should flower this year!

:) Thats Great :)

Jac - I'm sorry to cast doubt on what others say - but G. maderense dies at the first hint of frost. I know you've had ice and snow there, so I can't see how this could be that??

All the books say that it's a greenhouse plant or needing a very sheltered warm spot in the summer....I've seen one in a garden on the coast near us once - it grows to a height of a metre with a huge stem like a small tree, and the leaves on a maderense are about 60 cm wide. Once it has flowered, it dies.

Your plant just HAS to be something else. Sorry, everyone, to be arguing!

Im sure whatever it is itl be Pretty Spritz& plez dont aplogise 4 putting across your thoughts X

spritz - what do the leaves of geranium palmatum look like? That is tougher than G.maderense

just been on wikipedia, and I think that you are correct Andrewr, but the flowers which grow in a profusion are more morve than pink , and the petals look to have vains in them.

G. palmatum IS slightly hardier - I looked it up with that in mind, but it's still not frost hardy. Maybe Jac has underground heating?? lol.

to be honest I think I have seen it growing in waste ground were a world war one munishens factory used to be in more old cinders than soil,and wondered if it was a garden flower gon wild or an attractive weed.
