Tradescantia?

It spreads by underground rhizomes as well as seeds and can become unmanageable very quickly. I've mowed over the same clump of plants for going on 6 years and they keep coming back.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Native in US. We mow around the best clumps until they start looking ratty, then just mow with the rest of the grass. A good portion of our grass is Tradescantia. Not really welcome in a bed though, as said, it's seedy/spready. If you feel industrious, you can line them up along an edge somewhere, or packed into a fantastic clump, to mow later than the rest of the lawn, semi-cultivated, so to speak.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Yes, spiderwort is it. I had the same experience with it spreading. Didn't appreciate that since it was in a tiny little mid-lawn bed.

When I first moved to Georgia I tried to get rid of this 'weed' from my lawn. Once I discovered it is a 'wildflower' I either mow around it or dig up the clumps and move them to a place along the edge of the lawn, gradually reducing the size of the lawn so less work for me.

They are to a point that they are gonna have to be moved and consolidated. They are springing up everywhere. They are good for the bees though so they will have to stay.
