Plant or weed?

Hi, can anyone identify this? It's growing in 3 or 4 big bunches in the beds, weed it out or leave it?

Looks like hardy geraniums

I think it might be wood avens. They spread all over my garden.

Or a type of geum - in which case you can classify as weed.

I think it's wood avens, a weed. I'm forever digging them up!

So am I. If I haven’t time to dig them out I just pull of the small yellow flowers, at least then they don’t make seed. They have really tough roots.

Thanks, they're coming out so! Is this more of the same? I've a vague memory of planting something like this last year so not sure if this is an actual plant I want or another weed

that's different, I would say. Let it grow and see what becomes of it. Wood avens have little flowers on long stalks
