Nothing a good dose of weedkiller won't sort out Charley.
I don't think it's as bad as the two you mention unless it's gone in an amongst the roots of other plants or rockery stones etc. There are a lot of very attractive and very invasive campanulas
In this garden it grows in the crack between the house and the side path - it's very shady there -
It was there when we moved in two and a half years ago - I sprayed it the first year but it came back - now in the summer I wait until it has flowered and pull it up before it seeds
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I think I'll leave it in for the summer and benefit from the flowers and then give it a good old resolva spray and dig it all up. Dovefromabove - yours looks very similar to mine and in a similar area too.
In the meantime, I'll enjoy planning its replacement
Fairygirl, I would have been happy with a 20cm growth with a nice carpet of pretty purple flowers on top, but I don't like it when it looks so untidy and overgrown. I enjoy having a fairly structured garden with everything in it's place. Did yours look overgrown like mine or did it stay manageable?
It was a bit sprawly Charley but nothing much would grow on the little bank it was on. I think the claggy soil probably kept it in check. It's not one of those manicured plants unfortunately. It was an area of the garden where the children had a playhouse and wasn't really visible from the rest of the garden. I would have had to cover the bank in bark or gravel otherwise so it suited the area. I think mine might have been poscharskyana which was lower growing. Don't have any pix - no digital camera back then!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Ha ha, I like it. Yes, I'm quite handy with resolva after all the wild garlic and celadine
I'll have a look at a replacement for it first though. I wanted about 30cm high in this bed but something that will look neat and stay in it's place.
Thanks for your help!

There is no soil under mine - just the crack between the path and the wall!

What???? Really?! What sort of beast have I got in our garden? It is definitely going at the end of August. I'm enjoying planning its replacement
Charley I had it in a previous garden on a shady little area behind my garage. Heavy sticky clay - it behaved itself quite well
