When picking plants for your garden, it’s really important to know how much sunlight they need.

Full sun means a spot that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight every day. Here are some plants that love full sun:

• Succulents: These plants can handle a lot of heat and don’t need much water.
• Daylilies: These flowers grow well in sunny places and have bright, colorful blooms.
• Lavender: This plant likes dry, sunny spots and does best with 6 to 8 hours of sunlight.

Now, let’s talk about partial shade. This means the area gets about 3 to 6 hours of sunlight. These plants do well in those conditions:

• Ferns: These plants like lower light and need some humidity, but they also need soil that drains well.
• Astilbe: This plant needs some sunlight but prefers to be in the shade, especially when it’s hot outside.
• Hostas: These plants are pretty flexible and can grow in different light conditions, but they really like partial shade.

By picking the right plants based on how much sunlight they can handle, your garden will grow healthier and look more beautiful. Knowing about sunlight needs can really help you succeed in gardening!
