Light Levels

Local Conditions - Light Levels

   The level of light in your yard probably variesùfrom dense shade under leafy trees to bright sun in the open. The number of sunny hours in each area will also vary as shadows shift throughout the day and year.
   Fortunately, you can find plants adapted to every light level, whether full sun, part sun, shade or deep shade.
   The patterns of sun and shade in your yard will change over the years as trees grow and spread. As this happens, you may have to replace some sun-loving plants with shade plants.
