Please help identify

I bought this last night and it was mislabeled as Mealy Cup Sage. The closest I have found online is Rock Cress. It's very pretty and love the little purple flowers.

It looks similar to balloon flower or Chinese bell flower to me.

Here are a couple of more pictures. The foliage is similar to thrift. I guess it doesn't matter what it is...it's planted in my flower bed and if it doesn't die, good for me. :)

I would guess campanuala "Blue Clips" but let me look at my own tonight to be sure! I bet it is in the campanuala (balloon flower) family.

Nierembergia matches perfectly. Thanks! It says it is a perennial in zone 7-10 so hopefully it will survive here in west central Texas. Thanks again...
