Can anyone tell me the name of this plant please

An Astrantia (wild guess ???)

I think you're 'wild guess' might be right, have a look at these

Have 'Goggled'  and it looks like it, as yet there is no sign of flowers.
thanks a lot Dandelion

How about varigated ground elder?

Nope, not ground elder.  I spend every Tuesday removing it from another garden so I can spot it at 50 paces!  ;D

Hello,

The plant is Astrantia major 'Sunningdale Variegated'

I hope this helps!

Thank you all so much for your help am now convinced it is a Astretia a variegated one, am now waiting for the flower, there are signs of some.
Thanks again  Ann ;)

You can buy varigated ground elder in the garden centre at Wisley, it is only £6.95 for a good size pot. ;D ;D ;D I asked if they gave a health warning as it is described as a good ground cover plant,spreading quickly underground. It is sold under it's botanical name. :) :)
