where can I find the meanings of symbols used on plant labels telling of planting / growing instructions

Hi Daphne and welcome to GoY. A full sun means plant in full sun, a half sun means plant in semi shade, can't remember the symbol for full shade plants.

temperature shown if it is just one temperature that is the minimum temp the plant can take... could be something like -5˚C

It might be easier if you take a photo of a label you can't understand and add it to your question.
