Seeking Vetiver grass alternatives

We've planted vetiver at the homestead and will be planting more in the near future. Its thriving and doing a great job preventing erosion.

We understand vetiver won't thrive in shady areas where we also have the need for it. Have any of you found another type of plant that will do what vetiver does and will thrive under partial shade?

Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

From;
growing-vetiver-tips-and-tricksDon't plant your Vetiver in the shade. Vetiver will tolerate some shade if you keep the moisture and nutrients up to it, but it isn't a plant for growing under trees. Under shady conditions growth will be slower and root and stem development less than plants growing in full sun. Indeed, even when you grow-on your slips in water, leave them in full sun. Only shade them if they are bare rooted slips stored for a few days.

Here are some alternatives, try researching them for what does well in shade:

GRASS/GRASS-LIKE (Grasses and sedges have fibrous root systems that help hold soil in place.)

Carex blanda (Eastern woodland sedge)

Carex pensylvanica (Pennsylvania sedge)

Carex plantaginea (Plantainleaf sedge)

Danthonia spicata (Poverty oatgrass) will grow in the shade and poor soil.  Here are photos and more information from Illinois Wildflowers.

Chasmanthium latifolium (Inland sea oats)

Sorghastrum nutans (Indiangrass)

I am hoping some members with experience with these will chime in.

to: John C Daley - The article you recommended was helpful.

to: Anne Miller - The list of alternative grasses. All of them will grow in my region and in partial shade.

Thank you

resurrecting this post as I'm also super interested . . .

planning to use Vetiver to reinforce some stone wall terraces around my sunny spots, but most of my land is forested so pretty well shaded.

Anyone have any experience spreading seed in shady spots with any of these grasses?

Looking for something that is going to spread (not too invasively) and provide a living matting on shady slopes around the bottoms of trees.

Loose loamy soil which is super susceptible to water erosion, so got lots of trees baring roots.

From the link above in my post:

Danthonia spicata (Poverty oatgrass) will grow in the shade and poor soil.

My comment: The question was about Shade tolerant erosion control so I assume all of that list will grow in shade. Though I have no experience.
