Can anyone recognise this perennial without flowers?

I bought 9 perennials on Saturday, they were all on the same shelf on offer, I've got the cards for all the others but seem to have lost the one for this plant between the garden centre and way home - I do remember the card showing blue flowers (which is why I picked it up) but that's about it.  Does anyone recognise it?

Aster?

Antirrhinum (snapdragon)?

That's what I thought too.

Topbird

Or maybe a penstemon?

Is it what my mum used to call a Michaelmas daisy?

That's an Aster 

Penstemon is also a good shout. They can both look quite similar.

I would say antirrhinum judging by the leaves

If the label was correct and it really has blue flowers, that means it can't be an antirrhinum. If the label was loose enough to get lost, it could well have fallen off something else and been poked in the pot.
Blue penstemons have different leaves.

thanks everyone - it definitely had blue flowers on the cards for this plant - there were about thirty of them in neat rows. It's driving me nuts - might go back and have a look at the others.  This is the list of the other plants which were all in the same area and part of the deal:

Ajuga Princess Nadia
Lampranthus Orange
Ajuga Reptans Variagata
Ajuga Princess Nadia
Jasione Blue Light
Erodium Reichardii Album
Ajuga Braunherz
Sedum Spurium Coccineum.

If it's an Aster, it'll flower soon. Probably easier to wait and see.
