Most likely I will be digging up some of both of these plants this weekend, in which case I would have some to give away from Saturday.
Both are winter hardy in the uk and are not troubled by slugs or other pests. You can keep them in pots over the winter and plant in spring, or plant in the ground now. Both should flower next spring/summer.
The pink geranium (or cranesbill) is fully winter hardy, tolerant and easy to grow with pretty pink flowers from late spring. Cut back after flowering in mid summer for a fresh flush of green leaves and more flowers if you're lucky. It will die down in the winter and come back year after year. Likes my sticky wet clay and doesn't mind a bit of shade.

Verbena bonariensis is a beautiful hardy perennial with purple flowers on tall wiry stems over a long flowering season. Comes back from the base stronger every year and will self seed around if it's happy. Flowers beloved of bees and butterflies. Watch goldfinches try to balance on the seed heads next winter. Prefers full sun and good drainage, but copes fine with my sticky clay.
