    Growing like a weed, coming up from under the fence, but so pretty! Any ideas? :smile:

        It looks like a Campanula Pyramidalis (Chimney Bellflower). Can you look over the fence and see how it's growing? They're bushy perennials, outdoors growing about 3/4' high but it is possible to grow them in pots in a greenhouse etc where they can get upto about 8' high and covered with flowers.

          It is an empty patio on the other side of the fence in both spots I have now found it in!
