Looks very much like Society Garlic. EXCELLENT plant for areas prone to deer browse – it is in the allium family like garlic, onions, leeks, chives, etc. Bluish-green spike-like leaves with lavender colored flowers on taller stalks. Blooms throughout summer and loves the heat. Drought resistant. Leaves will die back in winter after a hard freeze.

Thank you Laura! I did find some dried out bulbs around the plant and speculated that it was some type of onion, I’ll post it when it blooms!

With out its flowers to help narrow down its ID, I could only speculating that these leaves maybe a type of onions or shallots? You might want to clear away some of the old leaves to see more of the plants. Also try a sniff test with a bruised leaf to see if it smells like onion. When it blooms and you still don’t know, make new post with picture of flowers. Link below is a sample of of one type of onions. Best wishes! https://www.google.com/search?q=japanese+flowering+onion&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi2lfS6vMvSAhXTTiYKHS10BJAQ7AkILg&biw=1722&bih=833#imgdii=NiMZLzdKMLYp8M:&imgrc=t0OLi6lsBneS0M:
