Book 29, Question 4
What do "full sun" and "part shade" mean on a plant tag?
Plant tags tell how much light a plant likes.
Full sun means at least six hours of direct light a day. Part sun or part shade means about three to six hours. Shade means less than three hours, or light that is filtered through leaves. Plants given the wrong amount may grow weak and spindly or get scorched. Matching plants to light is a gardener's first big decision.
