I think that's the native plant.

Herb Bennet, Wood Avens, Geum urbanum are all the same plant just different names.

Advice remains the same though. It seeds itself everywhere and chokes out cultivated plants.

Don't forget that all Geums have similar seed heads, so if you like the effect you can always plant one of the other less invasive species or one of the many cultivars. We have about 20 different ones around the garden.
