Does anyone know what this plant is? It seems to be growing wildly without any help next to our building in Malmö, Sweden

Also, if you can identify it, any idea if I can propagate it and how?

Common name is Apple-of-Peru, botanical name is Nicandra physalodes.

It is a member of the Nightshade family, and as the name suggests already it is native to South America. It is introduced in many parts of the world including Europe.

If you want to propagate it, try to collect seeds.
