June Grass (Koeleria macrantha)
June Grass seems to be a more manageable grass for smaller landscapes. It is a food source to many grasshoppers and grasshoppers are an important food source to many birds. It has attractive green-gray foliage and because it likes dry, sunny conditions, it could be good for those hard-to-plant spots.
