How many hours of shade are considered Full Shade and Part Shade?
There are many kinds of shade! Full Shade means plants get less than two hours of sun per day or no sun at all. Part Shade means two to four hours of direct sunlight followed by shade or filtered sunlight during the remainder of the day. Also, keep in mind that you may have certain areas in your yard that have seasonal shade, such as in the summer when deciduous trees are in full leaf. Take advantage of this by planting early blooming perennials in these areas. They will grow & finish blooming by the time the trees produce their leafy shade canopy.
