Full sun or Partial Shade?

It would be spectacular if in the graphics, or somewhere on the screen, they could add a picture of what kind of sun each bush or flower needs. Like a full sun, or sun/shade or full shade. I know I'm not the only one who doesn't sit and watch the entire presentation waiting to see if they ever say it, and usually they don't.

@snipsnapsnur. They probably don't want to get into that because it depends on where you live. There's a big difference in full sun at sea level and full sun at 6,000ft where I live. My full sun is a lot more intense because the atmosphere is thinner. It's also more intense as you get closer to the equator, i.e. Florida is more intense than Minnesota.

Well they've got to do something. The last few gardening shows with flowers that I've watched, I've heard them say how/where/sun/shade to plant maybe one time during the presentation of the item. That's not enough information. They can repeat colors of clothing numerous times during presentations, but not how to and where to plant flowers.

I agree, "how to and where to plant flowers" is basic information that should be shared many times. "These are shade loving plants, these plants do well in partial shade, these are full sun plants"....etc etc.

My big issue with the vendors is they'll often rename the plants they're selling making it hard, if not impossible to look up their needs online. With any plant, you want to do a little research before handing over the cash. When they give unique names to the plants they're selling they make it nearly impossible to do that research.

EXACTLY!!! Share that info as many times as they do the colors in clothing!!!
