Our Texas summers are no joke; knowing how much sun your plants need is key to keeping them healthy and thriving. Here’s a simple breakdown of the three light requirements and how to choose the right spot for your plants!
Shade – These plants do best with little to no direct sunlight. They thrive in areas with some morning light and shade throughout the day, keeping them cool and lush.
Part-Sun – These plants can handle full morning sun but need shade by midday to avoid overheating. Too much afternoon sun can cause them to wilt or burn, so placement is key!
Full-Sun – These tough plants need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to flourish. Less sun can lead to weak growth, fewer blooms, and an overall unhappy plant.
Choosing the right spot for your plants is key to a beautiful and successful garden. Need help finding the best plants for your space? Come see us at Covington’s, and we’ll help you pick the perfect sun-loving (or shade-loving) varieties!
