Sun

Partial-sun plants

This list is plants tagged partial sun — some direct light, not a full-day blaze and not deep shade. Hours and afternoon heat still live on the profile.

Two plants can share this tag and still want different moisture or winter shelter. Use the grid to browse, then open the plant page.

What this tag means on a plant

1. Partial sun is a catalog band, not a measured hour count for your yard.
2. Read the profile for afternoon heat and water; the tag does not carry those.
3. Full-sun and shade lists are separate catalogs.
