Attached Photo–what Is This Ground Cover?

This particular ground cover is taking over; just like my lilly of the valleys. However, could this green ground cover with little purple flowers be a herb? When I sold my folks house, I dug up some dirt to put in my flower bed and the next spring this appeared and has taken over my flower bed, eliminating many of my perennials. Thanks for reading this and any info.
