8 Full-Sun Shrubs For Your Garden

If you're blessed with a sunny yard, you're in luck–many beautiful shrubs love full sun, which is considered 6 or more hours of direct sunlight per day.

Evergreen shrubs offer year-round interest, while flowering shrubs attract pollinators & provide food & shelter to wildlife.

Here are 8 to know!
