Anstatt ständig Gras und hässliches Unkraut aus den Rissen in meinem Vorgarten herauszuholen, möchte ich einige hübsche lila Blumen auf dem Laufenden lassen.

Serbian bellflowers – they’re lovely
campanula – harebells/bellflowers! I love them too
Google lens says Campanula portenschlagiana
Aubrieta
They are flowers. These are lovely.
Campanula .
These I love so much as you can find them growing out of small cracks in walls in the strangest of places!
Weed but really nice my parents drive has rows of them down side,lovely colour in summer.
I planted some and they got devoured. Pity. I think I’ll buy a whole load more and go on the attack haha
Thats a standard MK2 gas meter box
The image shows a vibrant display of Campanula portenschlagiana, commonly known as the Dalmatian Bellflower. These beautiful violet-blue flowers are seen cascading down a wall, characteristic of their vigorous, mat-forming, and trailing habit.
Here are some details about this plant:
Appearance: It features heart-shaped, mid-green leaves and a profusion of striking violet-blue, bell-shaped flowers.
Growing Habit: It is a low-growing, evergreen perennial known for its vigorous, mat-forming habit, making it excellent for ground cover, rock gardens, raised beds, or trailing over walls and pots.
Flowering Season: It typically blooms from July to September, providing a long-lasting display of color.
Care: It thrives in well-drained soil and can tolerate full sun to partial shade. Once established, it is also quite drought-tolerant.

Isn’t nature amazing. This is both beautiful and extremely unexpected. I love plants!
Campanula! Grows like a weed comes in purples and whites with quite a few cultivars
you don’t, they are a bloody nightmare. Im fighting a never ending battle with this b@stard plant. It’s constantly springing up all over my patio, walls, home😭
Love this. Garden noob here. How to start it off? Can I buy seeds and just throw them down?
What does this look like for the rest of the year?
I have some of this in a hanging basket but think I’ll try planting where my patio meets my house . Bought in lidl and wasn’t sure it was better this way .
Look at aubretia and thyme as well.
Campanula… ok…. I planted it twice in pots, I took care of it the best I could, but it still managed to die every time. Now I see one growing on a building. Ok.
Ahh, that pic makes me wistful. I used to have a concrete yard that had been taken over by these. Absolutely smothered, not a cm of concrete on show. When they flowered, it was a sea of beautiful purple and SO LOUD from all the bees!
My old cat was an idiot. He’d sit in the midst of this and ‘hold’ a bee in his mouth. He never ate them, just sat there quietly buzzing and would eventually spit that bee out. Bee would shake the cat spit off, sit for a while to dry and then get busy again. Meanwhile cat would have another bee in his chops! He never got stung, he’d just sit there with this cheeky look. Little sod!
campanula, i have LOADS everywhere they seed like mad.
They look terrible once they have flowered though
Use Google Lens, I always use it for Identifying plants etc 👌
some delightful structure destroying plants.
TY. I found a similar campanula for my area and will be planting that next! 😀
Wisteria
Are we gonna talk about the pipe ? 👀
They’re the only thing I can keep alive in my garden 😆 the bees love them
Gas meter box. Difficult to germinate
Are they as bad as ivy?
That is actually one of the most beautiful flowers I’ve ever seen
Campanula
It’s called a gas meter compartment.
Usually the pipe that exits the box is secured and has an earth bond to it.
This one is dangerous.
We have a house, on a 70’s residential estate and a paler bellflower has established itself along the crack between the eastern side of our house and the concrete path up the side. It is in full shade as the path is only one metre wide and on the far side of the path is the 6 foot fence forming the boundary with our next door neighbour.
It doesn’t cause any damage, and would be very easy to clear IF I chose to do so. I do clear out competing weeds (buddleia seedlings and the like) and so I know how easy to pull it up accidentally.
What variety I have, I don’t know.
Weirdly despite dead leaves etc collecting along the western side of the house (which has an identical path but with a 3 feet high wall on the other side), it doesn’t grow there. I do wonder if I should pull some from the eastern path and plant them along the western path as well.
