It looks like the summer annual Asiatic Dayflower (Commelina communis), which is generally considered a weed. Did you dig it from the garden last fall?

They can be very invasive in the garden and are best removed by digging all the root. However, they produce a small blue flower that is pretty.

I got it from my cousin, who got it from her friend who seems to have a green house. So I’m nurturing a weed? Lol

Some people keep it in the yard for the blue flower. It is similar to the houseplant wandering jew but the dayflower leaves are not colorful
