Defining Shade Seed packages tell us that a plant should be grown in full sun, or partial shade or full shade. What do they mean? Light Shade - area is completely shaded for two to four hours during the heat of the day. Partial Shade - means an area receives about four to five hours of shade. Full Shade - lasts all day, it's the dark shade you find under a group of trees having a multi-story canopy or under a building overhang. Fully shaded areas receive some light from reflected sunny areas. Dense Shade - is the darkest day-long shade, no reflected light reaches these areas. You will find dense shade under a very dense, low-branched tree, or in a dense grove of trees. Visit Do-It-101's Build And Host A Site For Free
