Beneath the dense shade our American beech, oaks, and tulip trees, we find that Christmas fern Polystichum acrostichoides, broad beech fern Phegopteris hexagonoptera, white wood aster Eurybia divaricata and plantain-leaf sedge Carex plantaginea grow very well. But keep in mind that in natural woodlands that are dry and shady the most abundant “ground cover” is usually leaf litter.
