sounds like hostas, they come back every year & are really easy.
if they are too big you can divide them.

I love Hostas, so now how we get the slugs to stop eating them!

Mulch them with crushed seashells. Sharp points + soft slugs = dead slugs.
Slugs won't cross copper either, but that can get expensive.

OKAY...i know pople are saying hostas? but there are few hostas that are PURPLE. They are green to blushish and white on a little bit of them. My guess just from saying spiky and purple is Liatris.
