Plant ID please - thought it was bluebells but don’t think it is

[Mugsandpens]

Now that my bluebells are beginning to come up, I realise this is a completely different plant.

It’s spring in up all over my garden, would appreciate some help!

the leaves are quite rusty, and one of the plants had a green flower-type thing last summer. Sorry that’s not much info to go on!

Is it Astelia?

Possibly Pendulous sedge? It produces arching flower stems which go to seed, and spreads easily. Can be a problem to get rid of!

Do the leaves smell of garlic if you rub them ? Could be three cornered leek

Is it day lily?

It looks like it to me and it's a bit of a menace, or at least it is in my garden. Pull it up if you still can, chop the reat soen regularly to discourage it, I would.

Carex pendula (pendulous sedge) was my first thought as well. Fucking nightmare in my garden 🤦‍♀️

Thanks everyone for your comments. I've Googled them all now and I think it's the astelia. The leaves are spot on and when it flowered last year, the flowers are green and not petally, if that makes sense!

I spent a lot of time yesterday pulling it out of flowerbeds but now I see it's something people buy. Maybe I'll leave a couple of them and keep an eye on it spreading.

If it is seeded around your garden it’s Carex pendula as already suggested. Nuisance in a domestic garden. The seedlings have three leaves to start with. I expect you will find plenty of them too. It’s not Astelia.
