Shade Tolerant Grasses

Graceful grasses adapted to shade and filtered light.

The Shade Tolerant Grasses collection features ornamental grasses selected for their ability to perform well in partial shade and filtered light. These grasses bring texture, softness, and natural movement to areas where full sun plants struggle. Well suited to California landscapes, especially the Bay Area, they integrate beautifully into woodland-style gardens, shaded borders, and north-facing spaces.
