It was likely Asperula orientalis. The leaves are quite similar and the
flowers are indeed a lovely blue.
A. orientalis is an annual here in zone 4 although a self seeding one that
quickly becomes a nuisance in our gravel walkways between beds. Haven't sown
it in years and it still pops up here and there around the front yard.
Charming plant if thinned in the spring.
Not however a herbaceous perennial.
