    Hellebore  possibly - although I've forgotten which one it is. Someone will remember...
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I'm going with Sedum Spectabile Autumn Fire.

    Definitely Sedum Spectabile of some sort.  I love them, have clumps in various spots of the garden mainly because it’s the only plant I can manage to propagate !!

    Splendid plants! They easily fill spaces in the garden and are easy to propagte, move or pull up. 
    I have found that certain plants are really good "ground fillers".
     The sedums, London Pride  Veronica etc.
    My current favourite in that category is Veronica Tissington white.   


    To be a good ground filler they need to be easy to grow, spread easily, but are not very invasive or hard to dig up.

    One not in that category is Alcemilla Mollis which seeds every where and if its in been in for some time needs some strenuous digging out.

    This is gardening for those with creaking joints.

    Thanks I am glad it is London Pride as I come from London

    It's not London Pride. It's a sedum. There is a comma after London Pride in weedy's list.

    London Pride is Saxifraga x urbium, and as Plsnt Pauper says, yours is a Sedum. They have some things in common, such as fleshy leaves, but are completely different plants.

    Just to complicate things further (!), most sedums have now been renamed by botanists as Hylotelephiums. But garden centres and most gardeners still call them sedums so you probably don't need to worry about that ;)

    I can’t see London Pride or any sedums in @Iamweedy picture. Are you on the wrong thread?

    @Lyn :)  I think @Iamweedy was just expanding the conversation and discussing plants he/she found to be good 'fillers'
