Need help identifying this plant/flower
 

I got this flowering plant in a basket from my daughter's teacher, but the
only tag on it says it likes morning sun. I have no idea what it is, and
have nearly killed it since I don't know what to do with it! Yikes! The
flowers are fairly small, maybe an inch or so around and the same in length.
This basket had the bluish-purple flowers that you can see in the picture as
well as white ones and redish-purple ones (you can see a bit of one of the
redish ones near the upper left corner of the picture. Any help is much
appreciated!

The picture is he
