Would anyone be able to identify this little plant. In northern Illinois it comes back reliably from seed. Flower color is a light purple occasionally whitish. Stem is round and has a sight ability to cling. A gentle tug will remove it from places I don't wish for it to grow. Grows low to the ground but will scramble up and over a neighboring plant if you let it. Thank you Pat
