Oh mines like NE/SW running and gets absolutely blasted with early morning sun and heat and then drags the mid afternoon sun for I think a bit too long. I have never seen droopier and sadder leaves.

Edit: and it’s been 34°+ for the last like 6 days with not an ounce of sky water.

I would say mine is maybe 15 degrees that way, but my house is to the east, so it’s gets shaded until about 9-10 when the sun crests the house, but the garden beds get the slit between the houses for a bit.

It’s now 1 and they are already partly shaded. That was the plan with the trees when we planted them 3 years ago, shade coverage, first few years was rough. Hostas DO NOT like full sun, at all.

Edit, I double checked my original picture, you can see the house shade just leaving on the bottom right actually.

Well thought through. I put dahlias and zinnias cause they both like sun and yet apparently there is a thing as too much.

My dahlias are doing great on my deck, lots of shade. I’ve tried twice growing hydrangeas in my lilie garden, and both times they failed. May have been technique, but the didn’t root, I just grabbed the plant and pulled it out like it was potted during spring cleanup.
