most of the small foreground plants require relatively high lighting IME. I have grown "micro sword grass" with low-medium light however this was in a 20g long which isn't very tall.
the grassy plant in this tank is e tenellus. its in a five gallon under ten watts. my tank. the couple of big ones towards the right side of the tank are as big as ive ever seen it get in my tanks.

I had great success with dwarf hairgrass in a 29 gal tall with 55 watts. It seemed happiest if I never trimmed it shorter than 1 1/2". I started with two bunches, dviding them into about 15 small individual plantings. After two months I had a nice lawn. At 4" tall it should look great. It is difficult to gravel vacuum it, so I never did. After about a year the grass was growing on top of a 1" layer of mulm, but still looking good.
