Google lens says lily turf. Indeed liriope muscari.

Google lens is great for wandering around the garden identifying fauna and flora.

I've tried the plant ID site - it was rubbish. Is Google Lens better?

I think it’s great and since I showed it to my wife she uses it loads. You probably know, but it’s embedded in the phones camera app. Press the icon and take a photo and it produces remarkably accurate results. A quick check of the result is usually worthwhile.

Cool ta. I used it about a hundred years ago and not since, so I'll try again.

Plantnet is also worth a look as an App/photo based ID system.

Available on android (and probably IOS)

Never knew Google lens did this. I've got a tree in my garden that was a suspect weed when I moved in and is massive now, I'm keen to know what it is.
