Answer 2

What kind of a tree is it? If you live in So Cal the azalea answer probably wont work since our pH is so high. Ferns are nice. Staghorns are great and might grow on your tree as long as it isn't an oak. I use ferns and fuchsias and love clivia miniatas. They don't bloom for long but they are truly enduring and get better every year. Campanula is a low growing fill in plant that will grow in our area and requires little water but still likes it a bit acid.

Answer 3

Hostas grow good in shade. Also, annuals like impatients grow in shade. The less green a plant is, the less sun it needs, i.e., any plant that is varigated, that is, has white and green mix on the leaves, do well in shade.

Answer 4

Ferns are great when you have a large area. Plant them in the back and add smaller flowering plants in the front.
