Identification of a Perennial in my garden #247169

Asked May 26, 2015, 6:27 AM EDT

I am trying to identify a perennial that I put in my garden a few years ago.  It grows in a clump and doesn't spread.  the leaves are a deep green with small serrated edges.  The leaves at full growth are 3/4" wide by 1" long and each branch grows in a cluster.  Each plant is approximately 1+ foot in diameter.  It produces flowers  in June that pass quickly.  The flowers are lavender and are flat with 4 or 5 petals.

Hello,

The leaves look like it could be Balloom flower, Platycodon.
