Plants for partial shade

Partial shade means roughly three to six hours of sun a day, often in the morning or evening, without the midday sun. That describes many gardens and balconies, and more plants cope with it than you might think: gooseberry and alpine strawberry, lemon balm and Asian greens, hydrangea and lungwort. Without the midday heat, the soil dries out more slowly than in full sun.
