North Facing Garden In Edinburgh

So, I’d really like to have a low maintenance, potted garden and have seen some lovely images of colourful wild grass which I’d like to recreate. Just wondering if there are any tips on types of grass that are hardy, don’t mind the shade, cold or rain..generally an inhospitable environment! Alternative low maintenance plant advice/suggestions very welcome. Thanks in advance 🙂
