So a delicate balance of location needs to be found to ensure enough sunlight without scorching the plants in the intense Phoenix heat. It should be located in a spot where it can get 6-8 hours of daylight a day. A tip if your having a hard time finding a planting location is to put it where it will get the most sunlight. A shade can always be created to shield from those intense days, but digging up and moving your plants could prove harmful to the plant and more work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/customerpicks\/Explore-sun-shades-for-plants\/7debc1266920728a0dfb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a> sells sun shades if you\u2019d rather not craft your own.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plant_with_plenty_of_space\"><\/span>Plant with plenty of space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Knowing how big your plant is going to be will save you a lot of heartache in the future.

Understanding the space required won\u2019t just save you space above ground, but below ground too.
