I stopped at Hannaford for a turnip to go in my boiled dinner and I spotted these cheerful little guys in bloom. I was good and walked on by, got my turnip and headed for the check out. I was pretty sure it was some type of Campanula, I figured it couldn't hurt to see what it said on the tag......

"Flowers will last 3 weeks or more indoors. Great to plant outdoors
in window boxes or as a garden border. Will continue to flower all summer long if spent flowers are occasionally cut back.Performs well as a perennial in USDA zones 3-10"

At which point I heard myself say "sold" and it was going through the checkout and in the bag with my turnip!
