Is There a Tall-ish Evergreen Ornamental Grass for Zone 7?

I'd like one about 4 feet tall. I have some gorgeous taller grasses, but none of them are evergreen.Any suggestions?

Grasses will turn brown in the fall/winter and give you 'winter interest'. Sorry but there are none that are evergreen that I know of. Sedges are a different story-- I have Carex morrowii 'Evergold' a border sedge, and that remains evergreen. You may have to investigate sedges and see if there are any tall sedges to use.

Thanks for response. I've been researching online, & couldn't find anything. I'm not crazy about how large grasses look in the winter...I just want to hack them to the ground!

You mentioned sedge- I recently bought some varigated sedge to line my driveway. Smile
