Looks like a bulbiliferous form of Allium roseum.

Look the tips of new foliage. There is one bulbiliferous form with virus in the trade. Bulbs are beige and with many minute "pokings".

Because of the bulbils, Allium roseum was one I threw out long ago. It spread everywhere and the bulbils fell at a touch to hide under everything else before sprouting and gradually taking over a large area.
