Are there any ornamental grasses that will grow in partial (dappled) shade?
Most grass varieties prefer to grow in the sun, however you’ll find several that will prosper under partially shaded conditions. Remember that the plants might lose a bit of height, leaf color and flowering due to the shade, but these varieties will certainly grace your garden with their wonderful textures and motion:
• Sedge, Blue (Carex)
• Sedge, Golden (Carex)
• Northern Sea Oats (Chasmanthium)
• Hakonechloa
• Japanese Blood Grass (Imperata)
