[quote=Anonymous]How much shade is there under the trees, and what kind of trees are they? I.e., are they going to grow so that what is now full sun will eventually be part sun to part shade to shade? For full sun to part sun, I'd go with sedges -- they look like grasses but are native and look really attractive in a flowing, sweeping kind of look when they grow in. Deer won't eat them because they have edges. ("Sedges have edges.") I really like Pennsylvania sedge, which tolerates both dry and moist soils. If you want something taller and less (long and clumpy) lawn-like, then you could go for a prairie grass like switch grass or little blue stem, which like full sun. These are attractive in an ornamental grass kind of way and could help provide interest by varying the height of plants (i.e. not just trees and ground cover but something in between).[/quote]
