Planting under a cypress?

nancyjane_gardener

We unfortunately lost our beautiful Chinese Elm tree to Dutch Elm disease a couple of years ago.

We have since cleared out an area under some really old Cypress trees to make into our summer hang-out area.

The cypress droppings (for lack of a better word) is several inches thick and it is DEEP shade.

What does the cypress caca do to the soil (acid/alkaline/etc) and does anyone know of something pleasant to grow under there? Ground cover, flowers, shrubs to go along the fence-line?

Any help appreciated! Nancy
