It grows there, too. Some is lavender colored and some is white. I'm wondering if the light has to do with the washed out color.

I had full shade under 5 large walnuts for 10 years. I grew sweet violets, sweet woodruff, Jack in the pulpit, wild geranium, hostas, daylily the roadside kind, foamflower, wild sweet william and ferns. I did add compost in the spring.
I loved the walnuts we don't have any here where we moved.

Would it be alright to run the mower over the walnut leaves to mulch them and then leave it lying on the ground? No grass grows there anyway.
