It's a hardy Geranium. It's likely that it has sown itself into the tub, as they often do — they're not very good container plants, on the whole, as they get so floppy and unkempt. Which may be what the stakes had been for, perhaps as an attempt to prop it up. But it's more likely that the stakes were for something that has been and gone.

Hi Heather, some very helpful replies from our social media followers:
"Campanula. Give it a cool place and keep gently moist. It will flower again next year."
"Campanula I reckon."
"Campanula: probably Campanula poscharskyana"
"Campanula portenschlagiana. Ideally wants to be outside growing in the crack of a wall or over some steps!"
And also these suggestions "Viola adorata." and "This is a form of geranium"
We hope that helps?

The pale green one in the first picture looks like a very leggy scented geranium. Is there some scent when you crush the leaves? You could cut off all the tips and plant up as cuttings if so, and trim the stalks then down to about 12" (30cm) It should resprout.
It needs a bit more light - so put it outside in the spring after frost...

Thank you so much for your reply. A friend of mine thought it might be a variety of cranesbill geranium. I think it may have been covered up previously, which is why I have only recently noticed it. I will follow your advice.

I am pretty sure it is a vareity of cranesbill geranium. I have several like this and when they seed into cracks or gravel they stay very small. If you heave it out into a pot it might grow surprisingly bigger quite quickly.

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place but I couldn't find how to post!
I've moved to a new house and this plant is popping up all over the place. It's roots are similar to hardy geraniums and always appears in the middle of another plant! Is it a plant or weed?
Thanks for your help
Karen !

Not Aquilegia - but some kind of hardy geranium

Hi Nicky a few suggestions from our followers:
"looks like aquilegia possibly."
"Definitely Aquilegia. Prolific self-seeders and so beautiful when the flowers arrive"
And another... "Geranium of some sort. Perhaps Geranium Bill Wallace?"
"Looks like a geranium leaf to me"
Cheers!

Looking at photo of euphorbia surrounding other emerging plant which I think you were asking about I think it is a hardy geranium.

Hi Simon, a few suggestions from followers on our social media for you.
"Groot kaasjeskruid ;)" which translates as Malva sylvestris.
"It's not a geranium but Malva sylvestris 'Mystic Merlin'"
Hope this helps?
Cheers, Nicola

It looks like a field mallow, but taller. It attracts bees strongly in summer, but I don't know its name.

Hi Jon, a useful reply and photo for you "I'd say definitely an Geranium oxonianum, but not Thurstonianum, which has darker petals (and sometimes, although not a true double, ten of them!)"
And also from another follower they suggest "Check out Geranium x oxonianum ‘Thurstonianum’ Or G. Oxonianum ‘Sherwood’"
Hope that helps?

Hi Philippa,
Some suggestions from our social media:
"Herb Robert? Or similar member of the geranium family."
"Geranium maderense"
"Looks like one of the Geranium species of plants ????"
"Looks like a cranebill to me"
"Hardy geranium (ie not the pelargoniums)"
"Geranium palmatum. Only hardy in sheltered warm gardens."
"Looks rather like Herb Robert to me too"
"Herb Robert has a pale centre, red buds and stems, whereas Geranium palmatum, which is what I think it is (hard to judge scale in a photo) has deep pink centres and rather less finely cut foliage."
A few suggestions for you. Hope this helps?
Cheers, Nicola
