What is partial sun and partial shade?
Hi there, I just have a question. What is partial sun and partial shade exactly? What do these terms translate to specifically? Thanks!

Best Answer
"Some areas of your garden will no doubt have sun all day. However, for some shrubs, this would be too much sun. Partial sun/shade-loving plants require around 4-5 hours a day. However, full sun-loving enjoy as many hours as they can get.
Just have a check in your garden when and where you have shady areas/sun all day."

"An area in the garden that doesn't have constant direct sunlight, perhaps by a fence or under a large shrub or tree, would still receive sunlight but also benefit from shade throughout the day."

"Full sun: More than six hours of direct sun per day at midsummer. Light shade: A site that is open to the sky, but screened from direct sunlight by an obstacle, such as a high wall or group of trees. Partial or semi-shade: Three to six hours per day of direct sun at midsummer."
