I would like some ideas for what to plant under/by pines - a variety of
types. I am interested in plants and shrubs, and they can be for shade and
part-sun.

A good source for this is a Kentucky guide to ground covers. Don't be
mislead by the title, because they have ground covers that are 6' tall.
When they mean are plants that will fill in areas such as this. They
list what is drought tolerant, shade tolerant and which require shade.
Then you can compare the plants they list with your hardiness zone. The
guide is at:
