I love ornamental grasses and grow several in bright shade.(That is for me no
direct sun but on the edge of my woodland) Hakonechloa grass both the green
and "Aureola" the yellow do beautifully for me(zone 6) I also love Ophiopogon
planiscapus "Ebony Knight" which is truly black and grows in deeper shade. It
looks great with yellows and light greens to set it off. The "Shady Oaks"
catalog had a large section of grasses that would grow in shade last year. I
plan to try sedge this year.
