Purple flowered Petunia. Seems to be a rogue as it wasn't sown, but a welcome addition nevertheless.
Container grown in multipurpose compost with water retaining granules. Teamed with Allium Christophii and a few other, smaller Allium varieties.

I'll update the entry. Currently fiddling on the website as the iPhone app seems to have a few bugs.
Not a morning glory...it's a petunia

Scroll down for pics of a purple petunia like yours.
Yeah, it could be.
could be a volunteer. I still have volunteer seedlings coming up from petunias I planted 2 years ago.
That's odd as I haven't sown any petunia. Will have to investigate. Unless it's a morning glory I could have sown a mixture. Oops.
I'm pretty sure you have a petunia there. Nasturtiums have totally different leaves. Don't eat it! Many plants in the Solanaceae are poisonous.
