Growing under pine and oak

Russ67's picture

I have a location beside my driveway and near the road that has one mature pine and two mature oaks. It is a partial shade location and sloped. I want to put in a bed of ground cover and smaller plants ( perrenial and deciduous ) to help offset the fact it looks like dirt 3/4 of the year. It is zone 6 in northern middle Tennessee. Any ideas?
