Spiky leaves

Does anybody know what this plant is? I have similar ones in another area of the garden and they have orange flowers at some point later in the summer. It is growing everywhere in my garden almost like a weed.
Thanks a lot

    That looks almost like a pendulous sedge.

    I'd agree 

    The description sounds like crocosmia but this isn't crocosmia

    it looks like it could be lemongrass

    As you said they have orange flowers later in the year, they could very well be day lilies (Hemerocallis), some of which can be a bit invasive and tend to spread around.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    the OP is Pendulous Sedge, the orange flowers are elsewhere in the garden. Lemon grass doesn't  grow outdoors in the uk
