Best plants for under pergola?

[ljm12]

I am looking to put some potted plants under my pergola and was wondering what the best plants for this would be? They would get some indirect sunlight.

Ideally looking for something that doesn’t create too much pollen as I have allergies, so happy for more leafy options.

Thanks!

That’s the intention @mich1972 ! Hoping to get as much greenery out there as possible I will try and share the result when I get to it. 

Regarding the shelving idea, I love it! I can definitely see those suiting the space.

You have been a gem, thank you so much for your help! Will try to keep in touch.
