I planted lots of wild flower seed last year, and I have a few plants I have never seen before. Anybody know what this plant is called?

Offhand I am fairly convinced it is either a Campanula or Lisianthus, but don't like either one enough personally to have sufficient recall of them to be sure which

But that might give you somewhere to start looking from.

It looks like a Campanula. An elderly lady that I garden for calls them Canterbury Bells.

Thank you everso muchly, that seems to be the answer I have gotten from most of the "plant people" in my life.

They are soooooooo pretty, I hope they are the type that freely reseeds each year I would love to have more of them in the garden.

Campanula medium aka Canterbury Bells are biannuals that don't reseed themselves realiably. So if you'd like more you'll either have to save seeds and replant or purchase new plants.
