Here are a few of my shade-tolerant grasses.
The first is hakonechloa All Gold. For me, it's more vigorous than Aureola.
Fills in quickly and looks lush. Does better with at least part-day sun.
Second is carex siderosticha Island Brocade.
A broad-leaf grass just a few inches high but with a bold appearance.
Finally is acorus gramineus minimus aureus. It really brightens up the shade.
It fills in tightly and is just couple inches high.
All of them appreciate adequate moisture.
