What to plant in a 12x8 area under a deck (in Lakeland)

So we just built this 12x8 playhouse about 4 ft off the ground. I wanted to put something other than grass because our yard man has a rider mower, and can't get under there. So I don't want it to become a weedy mess. I don't mind if I plant something under there if my kids (15 mo and 3) can or can't go through.

One option- what would happen if I just put that black garden cloth down, and staked it down?

Is there a flower that would be hearty under all that shade? I would imagine only the front perimeter getting any sun. I would looooove a flower that we could pick and put in vases inside. My daughter looooves picking flowers/plants.

Any other ideas what to do under there?
