I forgot I wanted to mention Hackonechloa, (Japanese hakone grass). It has fine grassy foliage with a beautiful arching habit and looks great at the edge of a shade border. I have two varieties, one with green leaves edged with cream and one (Aureola) that is chartreuse and gold. Although it is described as a shade plant it grows for me in shade and also fairly sunny areas. The bright grassy clumps along the path are Hackonechloa 'Aureola". A small plant becomes a dramatic clump in just a few years.
