Full sun – more than five hours of direct sun per day. Part shade – two to five hours of direct sun, or all-day dappled sun (sunlight shining through open trees). Full shade – less than two hours of direct sun per day. Under a dense forest canopy, light intensity can be very low. Special adaptations produce the shade tolerance that allows ...
Flowering is best in full sun, although partial shade is tolerated; The plant is tolerant to drought after germination, and is seldom subject to insect or disease damage; this vigor is attested by its status as a pest in some areas of the United States
Spearmint can readily adapt to grow in various types of soil. Spearmint tends to thrive with plenty of organic material in full sun to part shade. The plant is also known to be found in moist habitats such as swamps or creeks, where the soil is sand or clay. [23]
These shade-loving plants are fairly easy to grow and provide a nice ground covering in any garden, particularly one with partial shade. Soil : Moist but well-draining Hardiness zones : 5 to 9
Light: full sun, part shade; Habit: 2 inches (51 mm) high, spreads to make a carpet like ground cover. Non-invasive, slow-growing. Water: very drought tolerant. Regular watering is needed at higher temperatures and for six months after initia planting till plant is established. The deep roots act as water wells providing water to the plant as ...
The plant does best in full sun. Often in the sun the leaves wither, then return vigorously in the evening, when temperatures start to fall and the sun sets. It cannot stand the cold as the aerial part, with the first frosts, deteriorates and can die, but the underground part that can return to vegetate in spring remains vital.
It will flower in full sun, partial shade, or total shade, and requires well-drained soil (if constantly kept damp it may succumb to fungal infection), moderate water, moderate fertilizer, and a climbing structure (whether a trellis or another plant is secondary). Propagation is most commonly done with cuttings/clones. [7]
It will grow to a height of 40–50 cm (15–20 in). It will grow in full sun; however, it prefers growing in partial shade and well drained soil, and is able to tolerate average soils and dry soil conditions. Columbine is rated at hardiness zone 3 in the United States so does not require mulching or protection in the winter. [14] [15]
