Anyone tell me what this pant is please?
It's one from Dunrobin but I'm not sure what it's called and I want to get one. It looks very Geranium (Cranesbill) in its habit but it's not one I've seen before if that's what it is.

Cheers

Mr's M bought what looks the same as the one you are looking for from Tesco a while ago.
It sits on a shelf in the corner of the green house and is a delightfull plant that we think is from the Geranium family but the label got thrown out when it was re-potted.
This might be a good site to have a look at.http://www.molesseeds.co.uk/acatalog/annuals.html
Good luck . KM

My first thought was yes I think your right,:Razz then not sure,:confused but it did look like the one I have got, then Mr's M threw a spanner in the works and said she thinks it might be a Tree Peony.:eek:lol

Could be right, the leaves look more the shape.

thought it was a potentilla, but was wary of making the first post. Dont think its a tree peony, different shaped leaf.

Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner but I emailed the head gardener at the castle and apparently the plant is Potentilla 'Monsieur Rouillard'.
So Kevin Milkins you were spot on.

Many thanks to all of you.
