I have Two huge black walnut trees in my yard, I am wondering what types of annuals and perrenials I can plant around/near these tress that will survive the acidic soil. I live in zone 5. Thank you
I have found that Mertensia, wood poppies, phlox divaricata do fine. All of my daffodils die under them. Here is a list of some things http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1148.html.
If you want to double your nuts, you could go with hazelnuts (Corylus avellana) or filberts (Corylus maxima) as perennials around the walnut. I've always found that they tolerate acidic soils well.
