Re: Low plants for under deciduous trees

Hi

>From a European perspective (and I imagine my winters are colder than yours) I'd think about the following:

Anemone japonica, Aspidistra elatior, Begonia evansii & sutherlandii, Bergenia spp, Bilbergia nutans, Campanula muralis, Ceratostigma plumbaginoides & willmottianum, Cyclamen spp, Geraniums such as macrorhizum, x Biokovo, sanguineum, Hellebores, Lobela laxiflora, Liriope spp, Myrtus communis tarentina, Sarcococca confusa, Raphiolepis x delacourii, Danae racemosa, Viola hederacea, Teucrium chamaedrys

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!
