It’s not a Knautia of any kind.
Looks like one of the Nemesias.

Well that’s not one of the things that was on the list of contents of the lucky dip. So maybe I got an accidental plant.

Flower shape wrong for Knautia..(they are like tiny Scabious)
Flower shape wrong for Nemesia...see 3 pics above.

Maybe Nepeta nervosa Blue Moon or similar.

Looks like I’ve muddled up my Knautia and nepeta. Didn’t now what either were but I do now. I’ve planted them up as if they were the other way round. 😧😧😧
