Newbie unsure what plant this is
Hi, I'm new to gardening but looking to get started. I figured I should first find out what all the plants are in the garden I've inherited. There aren't many, but this one I'm not sure on and can't think what to type into Google to find out. If anyone would be kind enough to help I would be very grateful.

It's a hardy geranium - a real beauty by the looks of it!
Someone else will likely be able to tell you the cultivar.
It looks like the one I've inherited here - no idea what it is but it's in lots of gardens round about! I've lifted and chopped loads of it so if anyone wants any...let me know!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Definitely hardy geranium, much nicer than the ones I've inherited, lovely
Possibly Geranium Johnson's Blue - it look very much like it although there are other blue varieties.

That's the one my Dad has, and it's quite invasive, but beautiful.
Your Dad may call it invasive - I just call it a good spreader
He's probably got a tidier garden than me

What a gorgeous bed of flowers
Lucky you!!
it looks like Geranium magnificum, what a beautiful show!
That's what it is, I kept thinking grandiflorum which I ggogled and found non existent.
Magnificum is the word
