What "full sun" means in gardening

Full sun is a term used to describe a location or area in a garden or landscape that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. This is ideal for plants that require abundant sunlight and warmth to thrive. Some examples of full sun plants include tomatoes, peppers, roses, and many herbs. It is important to note that not all plants require full sun and some may even be harmed by it, so it's important to consider the specific needs of each plant when planning your garden.
