What plants are part sun combo?
Create a beautiful partial sun garden with plant combinations like hostas and astilbes, impatiens and begonias, or ferns and foxgloves, adding contrasting textures and pops of color to your shaded areas. They are easy to grow, preferably sown fresh and pricked out individually next spring. With a bit of luck they should come to flower the following season.

They have their own biological clocks which help them to follow the sun as it moves from east to west during the day, and then move back to their original position at night. So recently I came across the two sunflower theory. The theory says that during the day sunflower face the sun and at night when placed together sunflowers naturally turn towards each other. When the sun is gone just like how we turn to the people we love when the world feels heavy.The “sunflower theory” in the context of gifts suggests that you should always give sunflowers in pairs, symbolizing companionship and the idea that love is better when shared and supported.
What flower needs the least amount of sun?
Astilbe. Astilbe is a must-have for any shade garden. These hardy, long-blooming perennials flourish when they’re grown in moist, shaded areas and offer a season of feathery flower plumes. Columbine, astilbe, coral bells, lady’s mantle, Jacob’s ladder will all do well in part shade. Astilbe is my favorite shade perennial for height. Astilbe is good, there are also giant Hosta varieties like Empress Wu, that are tall in and of themselves, not to mention when they bloom.
