Not enough sun?

Hello everyone,

I have a few OGs in my front garden. It faces West, and gets 5ish hours of evening sun per day. Currently I'm growing Pennesetum Hameln and Karl Foerster grass.

I will be moving the Karl(s), because the spot where I have it doesn't receive enough sun (only 1 seedhead...yikes). The Hameln were planted in the spring, and they are nice and spiky now, but no seedheads. Is 5 hours enough for Hameln?

Do you know of any other grasses that would work here? Maybe a Korean Feather Grass, or deschampsia? I have several blue fescue I planted last fall that all bloomed well in their spots. I just figure I need something a bit more shade tolerant because the seedheads are so sparse on the Karls and haven't even shown up on Hameln...

Thanks in advance..
