Anyone know what this is? It's another of those 'swap leftovers' that has decided to bloom this year and I have no idea what it is.

Any guesses?

Thanks!

I call it Spiderwort. Tradescantia.

Yep with Pat. It grows wild in the woods around here but the cultivated varities usually have larger, longer blooming flowers. It'll spread like crazy in moist soil.

Well, it's pretty dry there, and with our lack of rain, it should never spread.

yep that is what it is. I bought some, big mistake and have been pulling them out of my beds for the last six years! The stupid things won't die.
