When buying perennials and it says that it needs sun, how much sun does that mean. The area I am dealing with has total sun till noon and then it gets shady from the trees so there is like filtered sun for a few more hours and then after 3pm it is total shade. And the same for tomato plants how many hours of sun do they need? |
When a plant tag says full sun, it generally means 6-8 hours of sunshine each day. The area you describe should work for most sun to part-sun loving plants. Tomatoes require at least 8 hours of full sunshine each day so find the sunniest spot you can for them. |
