plant id please
 
I just moved into a house and discovered a plant/grass on the shady side of
the house. It resembles grass only thicker blades and the root is small
bulb shape. It grows in clumps.Once I started watering it, grew taller with
no flowering or other growth.
I live in Eastern Montana
Thanks in advance for any information.

Posting some pics online, and linking to them here, would be most helpful.

Then, you make it impossible to correctly identify the plant. 1000+ plants
"resembles grass only thicker blades". Also, "bulb shape" is quite vague.
It's either a bulb, or it isn't. Surely you know someone with a camera that
can help you out.

Again, "looks like" won't do it. I'm not sure if Liriope spicata would be
hardy on the "shady side of the house" in zones 4a or 4b. That's really
pushing it.

Still, pics are necessary in order to make a positive identification,
sorry.

- Listen: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for
a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate
from the masses, not from some... farcical aquatic ceremony!

Sounds like nut sedge. Yikes. Check out the nut grass thread above. I
hate the stuff.
