I believe it is spiderwort (tradescantia, aka widow's tears, trinity plant). When the blooms are open are they three petaled?

Deadheading these has to be done when the flowers are open, otherwise you can't tell which ones are done and which ones are just closed. But if you do snip off the flower clusters that are done, it does put out more and keep blooming a little longer.
