Hi Marcella,

From what I can see in your photos, that is Ledebouria socialis, or Silver Squill, probably variety "violacea".  

The are fairly easy to care for--use a well draining potting mix and fertilize occasionally through the growing season.  Bright light (but not direct sun) will help to keep the plants more compact.

More information can be found here, from the Pacific Bulb Society: https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Ledebouria_socialis

I hope this is helpful!

Cordially,

John
