People often want to know what kind of short grass they can plant under their shade trees. Our answer is ... "You can't!" At least not without using exotic imported grasses that require extensive fertilizing, pest control, watering, and mowing. And after all that work, it might die during the next hard freeze!
Our advice is to take a more natural approach to life under the trees. These annuals and perennials are a few of the understory plants that thrive in the shade or along woodland edges. They will also grow in sunny areas!
