Re: [SG] ornamental grasses for shade

Paul, Clyde 'n all, this is a great thread.  I'm rather fonder
of sedges than grasses for some reason unknown to me.
I've been getting some by division swaps but this year I will
likely buy several.  For anyone with multiple years of growing
them in the ground (as opposed to containers) ... are there
sedges ... I don't like to say invasive, let's call them rampant
spreaders?  It seems to me in the research I've done and those
I've seen they tend to be more prone to clump than spread.
What say you?

TIA,
