Yup its Campanula glomerulata or Clustered Bellflower. I just took pics of mine yesterday too. I'm trying to fill in a 25 ft row of them over the dead daffs underneath. - and have them with Stella's also!

Heres a terrible picture. But the way it goes is, there is a 25 ft row of Stellas along the driveway. Behind them is a raised 18" wall that has Geranium sanguineum striatum - the pale pink planted along the edge. In the early spring there are about 1000 - by now years later - Daffodil Erichleer -a double white fragrant daff behind the geraniums. Behind the daffs is a row of Gold Mound Spirea and behind THAT is a row of lilacs. The problem is the dying daff foliage always pushes the geranium s toward the front and when it finally dies it leaves a brown mat of dead leaves between the geraniums and the spirea which is quite noticeable. I push them around but finally decided that this Campanula might fill in along that area and give one more burst of color before the whole thing finishes. Its a spring to mid summer garden and then its completely done.
