What plants might grow under a trampoline where little sun filters through?

We live in southern California near the coast. I was thinking maybe a pretty shade flower might work. Any ideas? Also I'd appreciate knowing where to go online to find out how to get rid of old dead grass. Thanks!

What plants might grow under a trampoline where little sun filters through?
Plumbago...beautiful ground cover type perennial AND it has BEAUTIFUL fall color!! Vinca minor or some Hostas too. Those all like shade. They won't grow tall either to interfere with the trampoline.





Rototill your lawn to get rid of the grass.





Good luck

Reply:Hostas!!! they come in several different color variations and do flower July/Aug. They love shade or partial sun. Before you buy, ask around your neighbourhood as they are easy to split up. The best thing about Hostas is that they are a prenennial and will come back every year even bigger than before....
Reply:Impatiens or begonia, easily root in water.
Reply:It depends on how little sun it gets. If there is still a little sun, shadow plants may work. If it is to dark to read a newspaper it is even to dark for all plants. Maybe you can find a solution with shadow loving plants at the edge under the trampoline (where is more light) and a solid ground (think of little stones or any other decorative material used in gardens) in the middle.
