Light Requirements

There are references to "full shade,"" "partial shade" and even "part sun" on plant tags. These terms are not always clearly defined. Plants that require full sun need at least of 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. The sun's rays are most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Therefore, the spot of a garden that is full sun must be protected from the harsh, drying afternoon sun.

Most fruiting and vegetable vegetables require full sun, however certain varieties can tolerate moderate shade. Leafy greens can also be affected by shade, but they can take longer to mature and produce.

Partial sun describes garden locations that get three to six hours of direct sunlight per day, however the rest of the time, these areas are moderately shaded or have dappled sunlight from tree shadows and leaves. The east side of your home is the best location for partial shade/partial sun. This will provide shade in the early afternoon and cool morning sun for sun-loving plants like azaleas and rhododendrons.

Full shade is a term used to describe dark areas that rarely receive direct sunlight. These areas could be covered by high evergreens or structures that hang over or be enclosed passageways and homes gardens between houses. These are not easy to grow in due to the encroachment of water by tree roots and the lack of sunlight. If you find that a flower or vegetable isn't thriving in this kind of shade, you can try moving it to another location and provide supplemental water as needed. Shade-loving plants include astilbes, golden Hakone Goatsbeard, Grass, and a range of ferns.
