Purple Flowers and Stems, Green leaves. Ground Cover

I see this plant around a lot and saw lots of it in the native garden section at U.B.C
Thanks for help identifying it.

Geranium robertianum.

 

Thank you very much. I always assumed this was a non native plant in our area, but when I saw so much of it in the native plant garden at U.B.C, I began to wonder what it was. I guess it is an non native plant after all. Sorry for posting this thread in the wrong section.

 

It's a weed that is difficult to stay on top of without constant attention.

 

I know. I cut it all down with my trimmer at one of the lawns I cut in Burnaby and ten days later, it's all grown back.

 

There is some more info here that may help to get rid of it. It seems to pull out easy.
