I love it but have no idea what it is?
It’s perennial and evergreen, non scented and spreading.
I’d love to know what it is!

I'm not sure the leaves are quite right for rose campion. Have a Google of periwinkles, OP, see whether those look similar...

The flowers look like mimulus, or something in the snapdragon family (but not antirrhinum).

Possibly some kind of Impatiens (eg Impatiens puberula or similar) if not Mimulus?

There is a useful app for identifying plants called PlantSnap that could help you.

I have often googled geraniums but can never find anything that looks quite like it..
It’s turning out to be really challenge to identify!

Just had a look at mimulus and impatiens, I don’t think it’s that either.
What the heck is it?!

I was going to suggest downloading the plant identifier app too.

From a distance it looks like my Germander.

But the flowers are wrong.

But this link has the same leaf and flower bud arrangement, just a different flower [unless it is really just a bad photo OP - sorry]

Hurrah! I'd love to say I'm an amazing horticultural type, but I just did a Google Lens search on your photo! I've ID'd most of the plants in our new (ridiculously overgrown) garden that way!

I originally thought the flowers were toadflaxy.

Good call Waving.
