Could someone tell me what this pretty weed is that spreads like mad in my garden if I don't keep on top of it. It has purpley red stems and spreads by runners.

It's cranesbill and easy to pull out, but I think you're mistaken about it spreading by runners. It seeds all over the shop and gets going quickly.

Geranium robertianum or purpureum villi, the smell is awful, and it is difficult to get rid of because of all the seeds it sets.
