| I am new to ornamental grasses & am looking for an arching grass that grows a maximum of 2 feet tall & would do well in mostly brite shade. We have a white stucco house, so light does get reflected from the walls & the bed does get direct western sun in the evening. I'd like something that is non-invasive to be grown under my sunroom windows in a 15 foot long bed bordering the lawn. Is there anything that matches this description? Hope i gave enough info.
Any help would be appreciated.

| The first one that comes to mind is Snowy Woodrush, Luzula nivea. It grows in a lovely arching clump, about 12-16" tall, and flowers with gorgeous white blooms another 12" above the foliage. It's a snap to grow from seed, and very hardy. Also check out some of the Carex (Sedge) varieties, like Carex morrowii 'Variegata.' If the bed is deep enough, consider a couple of layers of grasses, with the 2-footers in back, and shorter, contrasting color grasses in front. |
