what is a perennial?

Perennials are plants that persist year after year in a garden. They may be evergreen or deciduous.

Light requirement:

Some perennials like full sun need a location with no shade, or at least 8 hours without shade.

Perennials that require part shade require an area that receives 3 to 4 hours of direct sun each day in the early morning or evening, but not at midday. Planting on the east or west side of a building provides this type of shade. Part shade is also the filtered light provided by shade trees that have had their lower limbs removed to provide direct sunlight for short periods as the sun shines through gaps in the foliage.
