Picture This on my phone. I use it all the time to identify plants. Pretty handy. You just take a photo, it scans, then tells you what the plant is and all sorts of information.
It's a bulbous plant of some kind, trying to stay alive in the shade. Probably not blooming because it's not getting enough light because it was planted when the crape myrtle was a lot smaller.
Were it me, I'd mark the spot(s). Then come back in the fall, after all the foliage has dried back, dig up a few, and plant them where you plant your daffodils. You'll find out what they are in the spring. For now, leave them alone so they will build up their bulbs as much as possible.
I was going to say the same thing, it's definitely a bulb of some kind. Possibly snow drops or maybe grape hyacinth. It's gone leggy bc not enough sun. Snow drops bloom in very late winter though when there should have been enough sun, also I'm not sure snow drops would do well in Georgia, winters too warm except NW Georgia maybe, hardiness zones 3-7.
My guess is grape hyacinth though. Not very showy and not much of a scent if any. If you like them, leave them or else transplant them in the fall. If you send a picture to your local full-service garden center someone should be able to identify this for you. I've done that several times with the garden center we use.
Also, it's not liriope, we have a large patch of it in our backyard, it's much thicker with sturdier leaves. Not nutsedge either we have lots of that too. Our lawn is a mixture of "weeds" - violets, buttercups, strawberries - and native grass, Bermuda, looks like a green velvet carpet when cut. Never use any kind of weed killer or pesticide.
I have a couple of those apps and really value them. It may not do much to help you with this particular plant though, because no flowers are available. As you can see from the responses you've gotten, it can be darned hard to ID plants with such a common growth form from just the leaves. If you had flowers, it would be dead easy.
My first thought too, peaky looking liriope.
However I can barely get mine to grow, didn't realize it was now considered an invasive, time for it to go I guess.
Yeah, once it finds a spot it likes it'll go crazy, even in the shade.

I understand there are similar ones out there.
I thought I had nutsedge/sedge, turned out to be wild tulips before they flowered.
