Is anyone familiar with this plant? About 5 cm tall, sold in an alpine garden mix.

Mazus reptans is similar, but the flowers are not quite the same. Found the name through another forum: Lindernia grandiflora. Sold as a hardy perennial that should be kept dry, whereas the internet says it's a bog plant that doesn't handle much frost... Oh, well, I'll give it a try anyway.
