Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum) Plant

Herb-robert: a type of crane's-bill with a reddish stem and similarly-tinted leaves with a mousy scent. It's named after Saint Robert, who used these pale pink, five-petalled flowers to cure the sick, and it's frequently used in herbalism today. As an ornamental flower, it self-seeds readily and serves as a valuable food source for pollinators.
