Grasses  and Sedges

That Tolerate Light to Moderate Shade


Blue oat grass illustrates one choice for accents in the garden. Most grasses like full sun, but this is one that will tolerate light shade. Other grasses listed also serve to enhance and add interest to gardens, especially those in light shade.

Grasses generally require full sun to prosper. There are a few
exceptions to the rule  which add to the landscaping possibilities in areas that get some sunlight during the day.

Grass-like plants, namely the sedges make good additions to landscapes. 


Carex 'Treasure Island' illustrates a sedge that gives a nice texture in a lightly shaded small garden plot or as lining a walkway or companions to Hosta .
