Yes.

I am no expert in what grows wild in Illinois, never having been anywhere near there (yet), but yes, I believe it grows wild in various places further south than my much more northerly location.

Thank you very much for the information. Do you have to plant these yourself or can they grow wild in some areas such as Illinois?
Tradescantia

It is a type of Tradescantia, probably Tradescantia virginiana (Virginia Spiderwort). A wild version of a common garden flower. Tradescantia often goes by common names of Spiderwort, Widow's Tears or Dayflower. It is an easy to grow plant...in fact some types can be a bit difficult to get rid of in some locations. Likes moisture.
