I live in SE Tennessee. I am working on a mostly shaded part of our yard. We have an area for a fire pit/cook out area with a picnic table and patio area and a walk way.

The area is mostly shaded but has sunlight in the early morning and late evening. I am not familiar with flower/plant choices and figured it would be more productive to ask for help. My local nursery was not much help.

I would like to plant some kind of ground cover between the bricks for the patio/walk way area. I also wanted to ask opinions on whether or not lavender would be a viable option in an area like this.

Three other points: needs to be mostly low maintenance (not having to re-plant lots of stuff every year), colorful would be nice and there are pine trees that shade the area.

Help? I have ideas but no real knowledge to back them up.

Thanks so much!!
