PLEASE NOTE: In the autumn of 1995, we hatched the idea for a free, local gardening publication. The following spring, we published the first issue of Michigan Gardener magazine. Advertisers, readers, and distribution sites embraced our vision. Thus began an exciting journey of helping our local gardening community grow and prosper.
After 27 years, nearly 200 issues published, and millions of copies printed, we have decided it is time to end the publication of our Print Magazine and E-Newsletter.

Growing herbs in part-shade

June 28, 2010 •

I would like to grow herbs, but I have partial shade conditions. Are there any herbs that will grow in partial shade?

Most herbs can be grown in 4 hours of sunlight (part shade), but realize the plants will stretch for the sunlight and could become “leggy” looking. A constant pruning will help keep the herbs full and healthy, so the more you use your herbs for cooking, the better off they will be.
