Anyone know what it is?

My wife who is a great gardener says it is a native geranium-makes great ground cover-very aggressive--deer won't touch it.

Awesome! Many Thanks Fella's!

"Perennial, deer resistant, shade and sun tolerant, hardy to zone 3, of virtually no interest to pests, weed smothering, drought hardy and with attractive spicy-scented evergreen foliage and a spring sprinkling of magenta-hued blooms – one has to ask what more a gardener could ask for."

Geranium: The Plant That Just Keeps on Giving

Whenever Carol Pope is asked for a suggestion on an effective groundcover for a deer-trampled strip of soil, she always thinks of big-root geranium.

She says we're keeping it.

[CIVANO]

you will be busy keeping it under control!

We're moving it to a spot that pretty much everything we've tried hasn't made it.
If it's tough enough, it will.
And that area is very very easy for me to control it in.

Thanks for the head's up though.
I will certainly keep a close eye on it!

Cheers,
Nog

Deer don't seem to understand that they are not supposed to eat certain plants. It seem that every time we plant something the deer aren't supposed to eat, no one tells them of the plan. You go out in the morning and your deer resistant plant is denuded of foliage.
All joking aside, I have a similar variety around my place with pink flowers if you want some.
