Plant or a Weed - ID Please
Martin, many thanks for your reply. You've got it spot on -- it's a G. pylzowianum. I
searched google and found some photos of it, and that's the one.
I'll keep it in check, but won't pull it up completely.
Regards,

Tony,
I'm not sure which variety, but it's definitely a geranium. I've got
something similar growing in my garden although it doesn't sound as invasive
as yours. I looked in the RHS Encyclopaedia and there is only one with a tap
root ( G. farreri ) but it has pink flowers. A better match if they are just
long roots is maybe G.pylzowianum which it describes as ( no picture ) :
G. pylzowianum
Spreading perennial with underground runners and tiny tubers. H 12-25cm,
S25cm or more. Fully hardy. bears semi-circular, deeply cut, dark green
leaves and in summer, trumpet-shaped, green centred, deep rose-pink flowers.
May be invasive.
Martin.
