Can’t tell from the picture but I get the impression this is kind of a bedding plant. Looks like Hardy Ageratum or Mist Flower.

Wild ageratum maybe? (Just a guess)

I have the same stuff. I love it- it keeps perpetuating itself thru the landscape. My Mom told me the name, and I THINK I remember it as beng agerathum…but I may be confusing it with something else…

(Ageratum houstonianum) gone to weed, it can take over the garden…I found that I could freely uproot the undesirable ones before they go to seed in the fall

Native Ageratum – I love it and have loads of it throughout my garden – multiplies through underground runners. It is a Perennial here in the south – grows up to 2′in height and is very drought tolerant.

It’s Latin name is Conoclinium (formerly known as Eupatorium) coelestinum.

I agree with most of the others; it sure looks like some type of ageratum. I’ve never heard of a perennial ageratum, but I’m sure gonna check it out as I LOVE the plant.
