Hello,
Not sure if this is a weed, it just appeared in a pot, but it's quite
pretty, isn't it ??

Could it be a shrubby Clematis?

My thought is also for some form of Platycodon or Balloon flower.

But they have 5 petals and the original appears to have 4.

PLATYCODON grandiflorus 'Sentimental Blue'

Well, it certainly looks as if you could be right. * The original seems
to have gently reflexing petals but that could be as it ages, perhaps? *
Some of the foliage looks right and some of it doesn't!

The buds look like those of Platycodon (its common name is "balloon
flower").
