Which plant prefers full sun?
The sunniest flower of all, the sunflower, loves full sun. No surprise there. The plants need at least six hours of direct light, and the big yellow, mahogany, or white blooms actually turn towards the sun. These sturdy plants are adaptable and drought-tolerant, though they appreciate regular watering. Full sun means 6+ hours of sun per day, while direct sun describes the straight path of light to the leaves, more so describing the intensity of light. A plant that needs full sunlight requires at least six to eight hours of sunshine (or more) per day to produce enough energy through photosynthesis.
What is the easiest flower to grow in full sun?
Select from an extensive offering of annual flowers that thrive in full sun. Sunflowers, petunias, zinnias, marigolds, and more. Choose hardy annuals such as sunflowers, poppies, cornflowers and pot marigolds – they all germinate quickly and are easy to grow. Bees and butterflies love them too! This also makes a great activity to do with children in a greenhouse on wet days.
