Hi Tommy, Some of these low growing plants like 'creeping charlie' seem to work ok for me. You may also want to try some shade tolerant flowers.

Pachysandra.
More important than the tree they're underneath is the climate, soil, moisture etc. The question should really be "What will grow in partial to full shade in my area, assuming the soil is moderately acidified?"
Where are you??

In East Texas, we are in the process of planting Hostas around our tallest pines. They tend to do very well in the shade:)
