Another weedy question - I have what I think is a weed growing up my wall and in various cracks in paving stones etc. - the flowers look like a campanula. i see a lot of this around here in yorkshire - i never recall seeing it back home on the north west coast though. i've added a picture, but this isn't mine i got the picture from the internet (unfortunately it wasn't named) does anyone know what this is and whether it's as rampant as it looks like it might be?

thank you - it seems vigorous - it's been growing strongly all winter

It's one of those plants that seems to 'adopt' your garden. If it is happy it will spread and you will always have it. I have, but luckily I like it. The flowers are profuse and a very pleasing blue.

I have it on my slope and steps. It self seeds around but is easy to weed out. I think the photo is pretty.

It wanders around our garden too, when it gets too big for its boots we simply remove some of it - which is very easy to do as it is shallow rooted.

It is indeed vigorous but lovely. That is a great photo and I would not be wanting to get rid of it altogether. Just pull some of it out by hand now and you will still have a display in summer.

This looks like campanula poscharskyana which spreads vigorously by underground runners
