A gardening friend here in Fallbrook is removing a lot of grass from her backyard.  Between (and including) two large ornamental pear trees she is making a large oval.  She need attractive plants (not too tall-say 3' or less) that can take low water, yet be in the shade during a large portion of the day (once the leaves return on the trees in late Spring), and coexist with any trees roots.  Any ideas? To add to her wish list – she does not like orange.

 

Thanks!
