It's a bit invasive artjak, it seeds about a bit and if you don't remove every tiny invisible corm it grows back. It's lovely at this time of year though. and at seed time til the mice/voles turn up. It's probably them that spread it round the garden.
A plant for a wild garden like mine rather than the neater ones
They are very decorative in the garden. If they get out of hand there is only one way to get rid of them and that's weedkiller. They have a miriad of tiny bulblets deep under the soil and not matter how deep you dig you always leave some behind which then enjoy all that extra space you've left them.

In the sticks near Peterborough
The garden I'm talking about, like a lot in this area looks as if it is ironed every morning
Thanks to all for the comments.
I have them in the wooded bit I think they look great I thought the bright red berries may have been poisonous red is natures warning !!!
