I have a woodland area in the garden (about 25 metres long by 4 metres wide) which is under deciduous trees with very little light getting in during Summer.I want to have a Pathway and on edges some colour Will Grass grow under the trees (as the pathway) and what would you recommend for planting at each side of the pathway . There was a lot of Ivy there which I have killed with roundup so its pretty bare now under the trees.
