Grows like crazy! I don't want this in my lawn and it is growing in several areas.

Surprise lily? I think they're red blooms.

Looks like liriope (lilyturf) to me.

You want to get rid of it, then spray it with strong concentration of glyphosate.

Lycoris Radiata

It’s the foliage that generally grows after it flowers. If it didn’t flower then the bulb didn’t have enough energy to bloom. It blooms in a single stalk with red flowers. Spider lilly, naked lady

What area are you in?

Don’t kill it. Dig it up and move it or gift it. Someone will want them.

BR

I might have sprayed some 2,4-D on it a few days ago...whoops!

If it doesn't die in a few weeks I could move it to the front yard.

This is what I think it is as well.

Definitely move them. The flowers only last a couple days before the stalk dies and you cut it back. Then the foliage pops up. They multiply fairly quickly which is why they are growing in clumps.

The consensus seems to be that it's some type of lily.
Hopefully the Image for Nutsedge didn't kill it (it probably didn't).

Thanks!

based on the size relative to the clover leafs next to it in the pic, I think it's too small to be a lily

looks very much like liriope to me

Y’all are hilarious. The answer is above. It’s Lycoris Radiata. Aka red spider lilly, hurricane lilly, surprise lilly, naked lady

Many names. Not liriope or agapanthus.

Lycoris Radiata.

Looks like paperwhite to me. I have a few and they look pretty but they smell terrible to me so I can't bring them inside.

Both part of same subfamily of amaryllis. Paperwhites are not popping up yet.

Lycoris Radiata bloom in august/September and then pop up foliage shortly after. I’ve got a hundred or so that just started popping up their foliage for next years flowers.
