PLANTS THAT CAN GROW IN FULL SUN IN PHOENIX Compiled by Lee Brownson When planting in full sun, it’s best to plant in fall so that plants have a chance to grow roots before winter and to acclimate to the brutal Phoenix summer sun. Even so, nearly all plants will need a bit of afternoon shade the first year or two from a nurse plant or shade cloth and protection from frost. Club members Cathy Babcock, Pam Edsall, Tom Gatz, Chris Ginkel, Sue Hakala, Leo Martin, Scott McMahon, Nancy Mumpton, and Sue Tyrrel provided a list of plants that they successfully grow in the full sun presented here alphabetically.
