What's this?

Can anybody please tell me what this is? We were given it as a cutting and I have seen it in many other gardens aswell, yet I have searched for it online and cannot seem to find a match anywhere.It grows quite happily in the shade in our garden, and is definatly a climbing plant. But I have also seen it crawling up steps up to front doors and in the cracks in patios etc. It has smallish purple flowers about 3cm across with 5 petals, with hairy spade shaped leaves ranging in size from 1cm to 6cm. It is so commonly spotted by myself, somebody must know what it is!

I think it may be Campanula poscharskyana. This one trails and even climbs up and through things. The flowers look like it too being wide open and almost flat.

« How do I look after it, best type os soil and conditions please advise me.
Campanula for sure, which variety, hmm, carpatica most likely, though would need to see a pic of the whole plant to be 100%. Does it throw out long sprays with flowers on which then start to look tatty and lanky - if so, then its Campanula carpatica
