Or just livehead.  Deadhead before they're dead - before they even get
going.  The leaves are nice enoough on their own.

DH (the allergist) tells me that while a few people are allergic to  
only one grass (example: corn pollen here in the midwest), and some  
are allergic to all grasses, most are allergic to either warm season  
grasses or cool season grasses. My guess is that Hakonechloa is a  
warm season grass, given that it flowers in late summer. On the other  
hand, since it is a genus of one species, perhaps people in North  
America have not become sensitized to it. I'd recommend that you try  
it. If you are really sensitive to grasses, use a mask when it is in  
flower, and shower after you work in the yard.
