What's the name of this plant? HELP!!!

10 years ago

Can anyone inform on the accurate name of this plant?
I've asked soo many people, with no results.
The plant also grows a pretty small purple flower, hence why I am asking
As I'd love to take care of it properly and have the flowers bloom again.
Thanks!
Ps if you know the plant quite well, I'd love tips to care for it etc.

Looks a lot like a Snapdragon (Antirrhinum).

Is this a perennial--one that comes back every year? If it is I think it's campanula lactiflora 'prichard's variety. The leaves are very much like it and it has small purple flowers.

It does not require much care. If you scratch in some time release fertilizer around the plant and it will be fertilized all summer. Water it when it's dry it will perform very well

I can't see it well, but wonder if it's Streptocarpella. Pic is sideways, so turned my head, then wondered if it's Plectranthus of some type. Then wondered if you are coming back, gplant?
