Hi, I sympathize with your problem. I have a HUGE black walnut, actually it\'s the biggest in Illinois, and it took a long time to figure out what I could grow under and or near it . I have tons of things blooming under the canopy. My phlox flourishes as well as bee balm, filipedula, thalictrum, oriental poppies columbine, pansies and impatients. I also put big pots on pedestals such as bird bath stands to give some height and allow me to grow a wider variety of things.
Good luck
