Hi, got this plant in the sale section at Hyde Hall and didn’t think it was an echinacea at the time (but couldn’t resist the £2 sale price!). Any ideas of what it is?
Many thanks

    Looks familiar,  doesn't it? Campanula?

    Stacys Macrantha was my first thought but not sure, could also be Campanula as @Posy suggests.

    Thanks @GardenerSuze and @Posy. I’m quite happy it could be either but as I have colour themed beds I’ll leave it in the pot till it flowers then plant it out.  I reckon on a long wait 🙄

    Doronicum? That's what the leaf shape looks like to me.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    @JAC51 I think it will  flower next year, just check it doesn't need potting on would be my thought. For £2.00 I would have purchased it too, for the fun of finding out what it is, I am sure it will be worth it.
