    I think the first is an Astrantia and the second a Penstemon.

    The top one looks like a Geum, possibly the weed Geum urbanum or possibly an ornamental variety.

    Think you're right @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool, l should have paid more attention 😊

    Thank you all.  Horrifically I think raised the wood avens as they came in a seed packet labeled Mrs J Bradshaw!  Will dig them up before they flower - I gather they are a bit of a pest?  Penstemon is perfectly likely thank you for setting me straight

    They could be Mrs. Bradshaw, how do you know they aren't until they flower? Hang on a bit. If the flowers are red then that's what they are, if small and yellow they they are the weed, geum urbanum.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    1st. one is I am fairly certain G.urbanum.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Pretty sure you are all right having looked online it is G urbanum.  All grubbed out now and they don't look at all like the leaves of J Bradshaw - they were up and at it almost before I realised. Thanks all.

    Definitely not Bradshaw leaves. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    I would contact the seed company @adamadamant and send them a photo. Who knows how many others are carefully nurturing the wrong plant?
