Depending on the soil and moisture, try some ornamental grasses
interspersed with perennials. Deschampsia and calamagrostis would look
good. Prairie dropseed and little bluestem are good plants, too. If you
have the right moisture, some of the carex grasses would work. My
favorite is Ice Dance.

'Ice Dance' is a wood sedge, Carex morrowii. It would be toast in minutes in
full sun Texas with reflected heat from pool decking.
