Plants use sunlight to make energy and most plants tend to take in sunlight through their leaves and/or petals (of the flowers) because they are the broadest part of the plant (and therefore have the most "receptors" for the light). This is why the plants often seem to "turn" toward the sun. In other words, if a plant only gets sun from one direction, its leaves will be turned in that direction to collect the sunlight and it may grow in that direction (either on a tilt or send runners out that way). Some plants (such as sunflower) move with the sun throughout the day to maximize the amount of sunlight it collects.

Short answer, plants generally grow toward the sun (or the direction where they get the most sunlight).
