This plant is about 18" and has been in bloom for about 10 days. I don't have a tag and can't remember where I got it. Does anyone recognize this little beauty?
Thanks Judon

Campanula glomerata, perhaps.

Here is a link that might be useful: C. glomerata

In 3-4 years this little beauty will eat the little fern behind it. If you move it, it will be returning for several years. You can read about evaluation of Campanula glomerata in Chicago Botanic Garden plant evaluations.

This is a very vigorous plant but in Eastern Indiana where we've only had 1/2 inch of rain since May 1, it is very welcome. I had the purple bloom you show for about 10+ days.
Usually I pull them out when the big top bloom is through. This year I deadheaded and now from the windows I see a purple mass where they are all blooming down the stems. Nice
color. Lots of more finicky things are not blooming. Day lily foliage is all turning brown even before the flowers have bloomed. I water what I can.

Thank you all!

Chris,
are you saying if I deadhead it, the plant will continue to bloom?
