What plants grow well under pine trees? I prefer flowers. Zone 5?

Many plants will not do well under pine trees because of the acidic soil. Two perennials that I recommend are azaleas and rhododendrons - they both flower in the Spring. Hydrangeas also like acidic soil - that is also a perennial that flowers later in the season, July - August. I am zone 5 also, and all do pretty well in my yard - they need protection in the winter - the pine trees should provide that.

You can plant azaleas and rhododendrons.. both love acidic soils..





For annuals, try impatiens and begonias.. keep an eye on your soil pH and fertilize as needed..





Do mulch, though.. the trees will love it and the landscape looks a lot nicer..
Reply:Not many plants grow under pine trees. Pine needles are acidic and burn and kill every living thing around it. Just lay out some mulch.
