    :scratch: I have got this plant in an old pot & I cannot find a name for it anywhere so was wondering if any of you knew.. :)

    :scratch: Is it a geranium I have bought completely forgotten about & lost the label too, if so it has never flowered before yet it is a good size clump..
    The flowers are on long thin stems about 2' high.. 3 blooms to a flowerhead, maybe 2 flowerheads per stem.. All leaves are at the base though bare 2 max single leaves on the stem.... :dh: I just don't remember getting at all... Yes sad I know.. :hehe: So any ideas anyone..??

    Geum, probably Mrs.Bradshaw, but there are a lot of very similar coloured ones available these days.

    It works well planted amongst later flowering perennials, as it sends up great, long stems with flowers at the end that last for ages. Then, by the time the other perennials flower, the Geum will have finished and started to die back.
