That's pretty much got the look of a grass. Round, probably hollow stems?

But it probably turns out not to be a grass. Carex pendula, a fairly
common garden inscape, or at least something close to it (the flowering
shoots are usually more spreading).

Sure looks like Carex, but can the "acid" test be applied that (usually)
"sedges have edges"!

The OP should check, as it isn't clear from the new photos, whether or
not the stem is triangular in cross-section, rather than round.
