    Small clusters of blue flowers on long stems - a perennial. Any idea as to what it is? I appreciate your answers!

    Spiderwort, Tradescantia virginiana.

    Odds are it's one from the Andersoniana hybrid group instead - most horticultural selections of these plants are.

    Still Tradescantia, but likely a hybrid, not the virginiana species.
    Thanks, Ron. I'd have had to know that name to see photos of it - nothing like the photo here came up with that name when I just queried Tradescantia. Good thing you're here.

    Here's an article on Andersoniana group hybrids with lots of photos:
