Q.Shade
I have LOTS of oak trees, which means lots of shade. I would love to have some form of grass under these trees but that may not be realistic. Can you suggest a grass that will grow in southeast Texas heat and lots of shade? Alternatively, maybe a low growing ground cover? I would also love to know what variety of azaleas would thrive under my oaks. If there is an azalea I can use, can you please suggest tips for growing and blooming? Desperately seeking green!
