When looking at plant tags, there are numerous references to "full sun,"" "partial sun" and even "part shade." The majority of the time these terms aren't well-defined. Plants that need full sun need a minimum of 6 hours of direct sun per day. The sun's rays are the most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. So, the site of a garden with full sun must be protected from the harsh, drying afternoon sun.

Some fruiting and veggie vegetables can be grown in light shade but most need full sunlight. The same is true of leafy green vegetables. However, it may take a little longer for these crops to mature and produce when they are in shaded areas.

Partial sun describes garden locations that get three to six hours of direct sunlight each day, but 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 or partial sun. This will provide shade in the early afternoon and cool morning sun for sun-loving plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas.

Full shade refers to very dark locations that seldom see any direct sunlight. These areas could be covered with tall evergreens or overhanging structures or they could be enclosed spaces and gardens between houses. These areas are difficult to establish a garden in as a result of the encroachment of water by tree roots and the lack of sunlight. If you see a plant or plant that isn't thriving in this type of shade then move it to another area and add more water as required. Shade-loving plants include astilbes, golden Hakone Grass, goatsbeard and a variety of ferns.
