Hi Amy,
This is true regarding the Black Walnut Tree. In addition, there are certain plants that will grow near Black Walnuts and others that will not.
Here are some shrubs and perennials that you might consider. They are acceptable to plant:
Blue Holly - China Girl or Blue Princess
Hydrangea - Macrophylla varieties or Oakleaf
Lilac
Hosta
Daylily
Liriope
Lamb's Ear
Sedum
Rudbeckia
Yarrow
Do NOT plant:
Mountain Laurel
Rhododendron
Azalea
There are other plants to choose from, but these are some that work well in a design for a front foundation planting. If using a Lilac, use it where height would be nice, such as at house corners.
You can also go online to the West Virginia University Extension Service to get more detailed information.
