Shade-loving plants, also called shade-tolerant plants, can do well in areas that get some sun. But it's really important to know how much sunlight they need to grow well. These plants usually like low to moderate light. They often do best in spots where the sunlight is filtered or there is some dappled shade.

Sunlight Needs:

• Full Shade: Needs less than 3 hours of direct sunlight each day.
• Part Shade: Likes 3 to 6 hours of direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon.
• Part Sun: Can handle 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight but grows better with light shade during the hottest part of the day.

Recommended Plants:

Here are some popular shade-loving plants that can grow in areas with some sun:

1. Hostas:

   • Do well in part shade with about 5% to 50% sunlight.
   • Come in many different colors and textures.

2. Ferns:

   • Generally like moist soil and can live with some sun.

Shade-loving plants can adapt to partially sunny places, but picking the right ones and thinking about how much sunlight they get, how wet the soil is, and how far apart they are planted is really important. By learning about their needs, gardeners can create a great home for these lovely plants, even in areas that don’t get a lot of direct light.
