I think you mean Fleabane; it is from Mexico originally but is naturalised
in the Southwest of England. It starts off white and goes purpleish ( I
think it's that way around ). It looks exactly like a daisy otherwise,
though the leaves are a little different, it grows in clumps, sticking out
of walls, verges etc.

Without a picture it is hard to tell....but you might want to look up
osteospermum.  It is a daisy-like flower that comes in purple.  Good luck!

Hi Joop,

Could it be either Aster alpinus or Erigeron alpinus?  These occur in many
coastal areas in the south of England.  Both these plants are usually seen
spilling over walls, rather than growing out of them, but I'm sure these
alpines *could* seed themselves in cracks in walls.

Another good 'wall' Erigeron is E. Karvinskianus, sometimes labelled E.
'Profusion'.
