This is a  daft question..... what is this ground cover that rampages over stone garden walls at this time of the year, it seems mainly bright vivid PURLPLE. Gorgeous and I want some!

Gen in Northumberland where we have had TWO lovely days one after the other...aren't we lucky?
No allotment but medium sized garden with greenhouse, small-ish raised veggie plot and little shed.....my little kingdom:-)

3 gold stars for Saddad! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Thats the one, I had mombretia stuck in my head (thats NOT it) so I was nearly right....... ;D

Will have to buy two, one for the back and one for the front.........looks like once you have it, it sticks around?
