    Sitting in between fence and wall, walk past it on work commute - it's so lovely!

    Any ideas people? :)

          Thanks everyone! I think it is aubrieta, compared the campanula petal shapes and zoomed in on my photo, seems more like aubrieta. It has four distinct petals and the campanula looks more like a rounded connected shape.

          Added aubrieta to the buy list :blue thumb:

            Definitely aubretia. It comes in different shades of blue, pink and purple and flowers in the spring. It likes sun and it can look rather tatty after a while so trim it back after flowering to keep it neat.

                If you have any trouble establishing it, bury some concrete rubble underneath the planting area as Aubrieta prefers alkaline soil.
