Determining how much sun or shade your garden receives is key when deciding to plant a new flower bed or purchase plants. Some plants prefer full sun while others thrive in partial shade or even full shade. Full Shade is defined as a maximum of 3 hours of direct sunlight every day. There are plenty of beautiful perennials, annuals or shrubs to choose from that will thrive in these conditions and help you create stunning garden beds and borders.
