There is an area in my back yard under a dense tree that I have decided to make a mulch shade garden instead of planting grass. The area is probably 20' X 20' with the tree in the middle. It is in the corner of my yard so it is surrounded by fence on 2 sides and the house on the other and then opens up to my yard.
Because this area gets barely any direct sunlight, I need some suggestions on what plants to plant. So far I have bought 2 burford hollys and 3 emerald spread jananese yews.
I am looking for some small understory trees that will grow around 6 feet high, a couple more shrubs and maybe a bit of ground cover. Most of the plants will be along the fence/house and around the tree leaving an area for people/ dogs to walk. Thanks!
