Where can I learn about shade plants for under a tree?

I have a big tree with spider roots that hit the surface in spots. I am unable to grow grass there, but would like to put in some mulch and plants. Where can I learn more about this?

Where can I learn about shade plants for under a tree?
Your local garden center should be able to help, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. I had the same problem, so I planted some hosta plants, several varieties, and mulched around them. They love the shade and multiply each year, so soon they will encircle the tree. Beautiful!
Reply:Take a walk in the woods, or through your neighborhood. Look at what plants are growing in the understory or beneath trees in the landscapes of your neighbors.
Reply:You can go to any lawn and garden web site or to a local green house. They should be able to give you any information on that.
