It is bushy (4"-6" - 6") and self seeding and quite pretty. It grows
anywhere, particularly in hedges and stone walls and does well in the
winter. It has rhubarb red stems and its leaves has five lobes, some of
which are now turning red. It has filled a ditch at my bowling green and
I may leave it because it is quite attractive. I tried Google but
without success. I do not have photographic means.


Geranium robertianum (herb robert)? (But that has disssected leaves -
5-lobed leaves could be Geranium lucidum (shining cranesbill).)
