Best Answer

It depends on the plant, some love sun, others shade. Hosta, for example, loves shade, and thrive with no sun at all. Typically those plants that do well on shade have large leaves, allowing them to get more light for photosynthesis without actual sun. Sun loving plants including most vegetables and fruit trees will have a hard time in shade, and grow long, leggy thin branches as they try to get to better light.
