    Does anyone know what the purple campanula which you see everywhere growing out of walls is? It isn't carpatica the flower is longer and the leaf shape is quite distinctive kind of round and frilly. I would love to get some and apart from just pinching a bit as I go past, which I am tempted to do sometimes I don't know where to look. :help:

      Oh loli that is so kind of you and I hope this doesn't sound ungrateful but it has to be the right colour!! the one growing out of walls here where I live is a very deep purple and that is the one I want to get. Hope you understand!! :redface:

              I have found it!!!! :yahoo: Took some searching but this is definitely it, so for anybody else who is interested in this plant it is Campanula Portenschlagiana.
