There are many plants that would do fine under a walnut tree-
Although you can try some of the recommended plants,I would consider container plantings instead.
Everything I plant for my garden Has to be in containers. There are So many trees in my yard I can Not plant a regular garden. We have the containers, big ones, filled with soil ready to plant, when it gets warm enough, & they are on a raised platform. It would be impossible to move the containers. We have cut back limbs from another tree that was shading the containers & will cut back/down this tree when we get someone to help. The black walnut is about 3 years old & only one limb is directly over the containers. Please, Help.
