Could be some sort of Felicia. There are a couple different species and I don't know which one yours is. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher[com...

Are these in your garden now, flowerprincess? They look a bit like some of my bigger asters, but asters are more shrubby I suppose.

Look like some form of Aster to me also, there are all different types of them and sizes too, but there again, you dont really give a description of leaf, sizes or when they flowered, Asters are a late flowering plant, normally towards the end of summer, if no one else gets back to you, then come back with maybe a leaf shape etc to try help you further, good luck.

I'm just getting ready to order seeds for greenhouse this year, and ran across a pic of these blue flowers.
They do look like asters don't they.

I don't know about that! LOL I've grown these, that's why I recognized them. And I thought they looked too true blue to be asters, asters are usually more of a lavender-blue color.

HI,
Not the same thing, but very close, in picture at least. Also it is a perennial from zones
4-10. Not in production now, but I always add to my wishlist and they let me know when it is. Just another option.

Good luck,

Erigeron speciosus does not have flowers that shade of blue, and it has a lot more of much narrower petals. There are some pictures in the Plant Files entry for it so you can see the difference between it and this plant: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2417/

My mother has those in here garden. They spread like crazy. We have to pull dozens of them out every year and their roots go clear over to the main plant! I quite like them. If I had my way I'd just let them grow. :D
