Just making a new flower bed that wants a bit of contrast in texture. Already own epimediums, hellebores and hostas so need something more vertical. I'm contained by the UK. How do naked ladies do contained by the shade?
grasses and ferns love shade. some Pieris approaching shade too along with foxgloves. I have a really shady corner in my garden and I enjoy filled it next to hostas, ferns, pieris, grasses and a couple of other shrubs along with 3 laurels. It looks fab - hope yours turns our very well too
I'm in the U.S. but thought I bestow up a few suggestions for you. Here are some grasses for you to think more or less:
ACORUS (sweet flag) - sun to shade with moist soil conditions
ALOPECURUS pratensis 'Aureus' (yellow foxtail grass) - sun to subdivision shade with average river
CAREX (sedge) - many to choose from
CHASMANTHIUM latifolium (sea oats) - sun to cut shade with average marine
DESCHAMPSIA caespitosa 'Northern Lights' (tufted hair grass) - sun to member shade with moist sea
ERAGROSTIS spectabilis (purple love grass, tumblegrass) - sun to part shade next to moderate to dry water
FESTUCA amethystina 'Superba' (rainbow fescue) - sun to shade near moderate water
HAKONECHLOA macra (Japanese forest grass) - as mentioned earlier, many to choose from, rather striking
HELICTOTRICHON sempervirens (blue oat grass) - sun to part shade beside moderate water
JUNCUS effusus (soft rush) - sun to fragment shade with moist dampen
JUNCUS patens (blue rush) - sun to shade with moist wet
LIRIOPE (lilyturf) many to choose from next to pretty flowers - spreads though
MILIUM effusum 'Aureum' (syn. 'Bowles Golden') (wood millet) - part shade to shade next to moist water
MOLINIA caerulea 'Variegata' (moor grass) - sun to segment shade with average hose down
OPHIOPOGON (mondo grass) many to choose from near varying foliage
PHORMIUM (New Zealand flax) many to choose from, the variegated and weeping forms are best for shade, adjectives more solid ones enjoy more sun
SESLERIA caerulea (blue moor grass) - sun to subdivision shade with average sea
UNCINIA rubra (red hook sedge) - sun to part shade near average to moist water
other philosophy:
AGAPANTHUS (lily-of-the-nile) many colors to choose from
HEUCHERA not adjectives but have to enjoy some for the foliage options!
CROCOSMIA (montebretia) - sun to division shade with average to dry sea
HEMEROCALLIS (daylily) - sun to part shade beside tons of colors to choose from
SCHIZOSTYLIS coccinea (kaffir lily) - sun to part shade beside average to moist water, flowers resemble small gladiolus (comes surrounded by pink, red, white and coral)
Of course you want to check to see what you can get where on earth you are, but hope I gave you something to budge on. Good luck.
Answers: Japanese Forest Grass. Hakonechloa is the botnaical name. There are several variety to choose from. One of the few grasses that does shade.
Cordylines (I think that's how it is spelt) are drastically structural and quite hardy.
I enjoy 2 in my garden and it give texture and height as all right as structure to a garden.
Try the Torbay one-it's a reddy-brown colour as apposed to the normal green.

Colchicums will not do well contained by shade but Iris foetidissima will.

Liriope muscari is another one worth planting. Not only does it look markedly grasslike but you get the added bonus of flowers contained by the autumn in any white of blue/purple.

Don't forget foxgloves. I know they are not grasslike but they are nice and vertical. They do fine in shade. If possible grow the white form as it shows up so in good health.
