Does it have triangular cross-section stems?
If so it is an intreoduced garlic called Allium triquetrum which is
very invasive ok.
If you keep mowing the grass, it will get worn out eventually.
In borders, just keep pulling it out. It will persist for ages but
will become manageable if you keep going at it.

Except that it isn't fully hardy in most parts of England, is it?
I've seen it in moderate profusion in the wild in Cornwall, but I
doubt if it would spread like a weed in cooler areas.

I have seen it in rampant in several places in Dublin which is not exactly
tropical although it is milder than much of the UK.
Anyway, it either is or it isn't. If he can post a photo we will soon find
out.
