Which plant needs very little sun?

• A. Fuchsia
• B. Dandelion
• C. Lady's mantle
• D. Copper

Answer: (C)

Shade tolerance and sun requirements guide where a plant will thrive. Lady's mantle is a shade-tolerant perennial that does best in partial shade with cool, evenly moist soil. It doesn’t need strong sun to perform well, which makes it a good fit for environments with little direct sun. Dandelion, on the other hand, thrives in full sun and will grow vigorously with ample light. Fuchsia typically prefers bright, indirect light and can struggle in hot, direct afternoon sun. Copper, depending on the species, often benefits from at least some sun for best color or vigor, so it isn’t the best match for a very low-sun situation. So, the plant that truly needs very little sun is Lady’s mantle.
