I think I buy a pot of these every year. Its a blue campanula with lovely double blossoms. I can't find the name on-line, but its very common plant in the supermarkets near me in the early spring. One of those bargain plants that I can't resist. I plant them outside and, as I remember, they do very well.
I had some confusion with this plant, thinking it was related to the blue balloon flowers I have in my garden in the summer. However, after some research with my Dad, I now realize that campanula and platycodon are different plants.

I would love to know the name of these. I bought some also, but can't find any information on them!

The name of this beautiful campanula is Elizabeth Oliver, Campanula cochlearifolia ‘Elizabeth Oliver’. These are not available in my area, Florida, but I did grow them in Wisconsin. They did well the first year, spreading out to double and triple their width, but then suddenly declined and in the second year, disappeared completely.
