Question:
What are some good annuals for garden areas in part shade?Answer:
Part shade garden areas receive 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Some annuals thrive in these conditions, and others may grow best in full sun but tolerate part shade. For these species, they may have fewer flowers or a more open habit than they would if grown in full sun.
