Plants for Shade

Question

Could you please tell me what would grow under a maple tree? I have tried double impatiens and impatiens. They don’t die; they just don’t spread or grow. I know it’s because of the roots of the tree. I am pulling out my hair because the front of my house has a nice garden, but I don’t know what to do about the side garden. It is also at the front of the house.
