What am I growing?

I have no recollection of buying this plant, but I must have bought it last year! It doesn't have a label and I have no idea what it is.

It's about a foot tall, excluding the pot.

This, of course, is where you come in! Can anyone, please, tell me what it is?

Thank you!

I think it might be a Penstemon.

Yes, I also think it is a Penstemon. I like that colour.

It does look similar, fiorentina, but it's not as sturdy looking, if you know what I mean! It looks more delicate and the flowers are smaller than the normal penstemmon flowers.

I'm cross with myself for not labelling it! I don't even remember buying it, but it's in a 'shop/nursery' pot, as opposed to one from my garden, so I must have bought it!

Thank you both, you're right smile

I've just looked at some photos online and I think it's Electric Blue.

Mine probably looks more delicate because it needs repotting blush

It isn't some variety of delphinium is it?

Looking at the leaves and growing pattern, I’d say it was a variety of Campanula.

Whatever it is, it's definitely time it was planted! shock
