Unknown plant id

This grew from some foxglove seeds I got. I got a couple of foxgloves and lots of these. Anyone have an idea of what it is? My initial uneducated guess was a species of veronica or lobelia as the leaves resemble some veronica I grew but the flower is similar to lobelia. Just wondering if I should keep or compost.

TIA

Hi all,
Definitely keep them. It looks like a perennial Lobelia, and somewhere close to <"Lobelia x speciosa">. They are hardy, but like damp soil, and very attractive to molluscs.
