I picked up a new plant from a garden place. I did find it and the name at a Menards store. I told myself that I needed to write down the name, but in the end I never did. Can someone please help give my new baby a name?

Not sure about Campanula, everything I have seen shows the flower with 5 fused petals but this one has 6.

Wow, there is even one in the photo with 7 fused petals. I wonder why the descriptions I found said 5 like that was the limit for the blooms....would hybrids of some sort explain the different number of petals?

It's white ballon flower. I used to sell them to garden centers.

I like Sjoerd and Netty idea. I think its name will be Campanula Carpatica. Thanks for the help.
