philm Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Help from the PW massive. This started growing in the garden a couple of years ago, now even after continuously pulling it up, it is growing everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Name something like ragged robin , regardless of the name it is a persistant weed and difficult to get rid off in my experience. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Geranium maculatum wild geranium, spotted geranium, or wood geranium. you are correct in your description, its a weed and very good weed too, Oh ! and it stinks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 They are quite easy to pull up though as their roots don't seem to go very deep. I am not much of a gardener so I quite often have loads of it, leave it a while because I like the flower and then pull it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBob Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Herb Robert, or Stinking Robert a geranium, but a weed. Look closely, there's many branching stems that arise from a central hub. This is only lightly fixed in the soil and lifts out easily Don't leave it to set seed......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr gen Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I think it smells like wee wee. don't know about a wee smell but to me it is completely gopping, hate the stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
