I've seen true lilies growing under black walnuts. I don't know how
anything else would do, but, if you like hummingbirds, they love my
Lycoris (what else do you expect me to talk about anyway??!!) If Lycoris
can stand that nasty chemical, they thrive in deciduous shade, plus you
can come up with all sorts of colors, plant heights and blooming
seasons. We've all read Jim W.'s remarks to this effect many times. I
know grasses can't handle the chemical from black walnut.

James;

I have a question and then a suggestion. But first this:

"It has been suspected, for hundreds of years, that the black walnut
can be detrimental to other plants growing around it. Juglone is the
principal allelopathic chemical that is responsible for the inhibition
of growth and the death of some species that grow within close
proximity to the black walnut. Not all plants are affected by juglone.
