Hi it looks like an ivy leafed pelargonium, pot them up in some general compost and overwinter in the house, not too much water, they should be more green than yellow, they should be kept in greenhouse ideally, and cut back and then you can take cuttings in the spring, hope that helps?

Could be a scented geranium which is close cousin of the ivy leaved pelargonium. (In fact the scented geranium is technically a pelargonium). The ivy leaved one is a trailer with waxy leaves, the scented one (which because of the lemon smell I think is slightly more likely) is upright with slightly hairy leaves. Doesn't really matter which genus it is though, Angliaelliott, except for your own satisfaction, because DDs advice is good for either.

Yes the leafs are hair feeling thats for sure. But you say its still the same maitance. Thank you very much It was driving me crazy that i couldnt figure it out. Now to just keep it alive.....

Just an additional thought as to why it's not thriving. Has that pot you have it in got drainage holes in it? It's possible that the roots are drowning. I would re-pot in multi-compost in an ordinary flowerpot and then put that inside a decorative pot.

why thank you, That could be a big possability considering there is no holes at all in the pot.lol I am just learning never had a green thumb. thank you

Yes, it's a scented geranium which smells a bit lemony, good advice from Spritz, used to have one for years, you can keep it in the house on a window sill, it will have small pink flowers in the Spring.
