What is this plant?

It has invaded my bed of geraniums (not pelargonium) and is very vigorous and hard to weed out.

Is it a geranium gone wild as the leaves are very similar or some other weed?

It's a wild flower, Geum urbanum, or wood avens.

So a weed I suppose, especially if it's in the middle of a clump of something else.

I encourage a few wildflowers in my garden for the bees, though saves weeding Blush

It's an absolute thug in my garden, especially in the wild hedgerow.

Yes, fuzzy, it’s overtaking everything. As far as I’m concerned it’s a weed.

It's a weed with me too...I allow it in the darkest reaches of my hedge but the minute it encroaches on the flowerbeds it is OUT! And don't let it seed.
