  • Help Identify Spreading Low-level Climber

    Hi everyone

    This is my first post. I've recently moved house, and since buying and planting various flowers and plants, a climber has appeared around the roots of some of them, and is spreading across one garden wall. I have attached a couple of photos. It looks like it is starting to form buds, so I think it may have flowers on soon. If it is too difficult to identify without the flowers, I can wait and take more photos when they come out?

    Can anyone please identify this, and is this something I should rip out? Will it damage my other plants? It doesn't grow too high, but it clinging to the garden brickwork and spreading along. if anyone could let me know if this is a plant or a weed, I would be very grateful.

    Many thanks

      it looks a bit like a phygelius (cape fuchsia). It spreads around a bit with suckers just below the surface of the soil. When it flowers you might be able to compare to internet pictures.

        It's vaguely familiar. Post again when the flowers come out (I bet they are purple)

          It's a Campanula of some description, has pretty blue bell type flowers later in the year. Useful for dry soil around walls, a bit of a spreader but nice.

            It looks like the Campanula him-next-door has. Lovely thing and little bits pulled off with some root can increase it for you. Now how do I know that?
