Plants for a Yellow Themed Garden

Posted by Angela England Aug 31, 2008

Yellow is a bright and energetic color that adds warmth and pizzaz to any garden space. Yellow flowers combine well with other colors, and gardeners can use yellow blooms to contrast with purple and blue, or to spice things up with orange or red flowers. Yellow foliage serves as a dramatic backdrop for other plants as well and can be an eye-catching accent.

Here are recent articles about selecting yellow flowering and foliage plants for your yellow themed garden:

• Yellow Flowering Spring Bulbs- A great way to tuck unexpected spots of color into the early landscape garden.
• Golden Summer and Fall Blooming Bulbs- These bulb and rhizomatic plants can be planted in the spring to fill in any last-minute gaps in your yellow themed garden.
• Modern Yellow Roses- Different in growth habit and bloom pattern than old-fashioned garden roses, these modern roses are some of the prettiest and most popular yellow flowering varieties.
• Trailing Yellow Flowering Plants- Use these in your containers, planter edges, rock gardens and hanging baskets to make your yellow themed garden a three-dimensional one.
• Shrubs with Yellow Flowers - Ornamental shrubs form the backdrop for many garden landscape spaces so consider these for your yellow garden area.
• Yellow Ornamental Grasses - Add movement and foliage color to your yellow themed garden with these golden grass and grass-like plants.
• Biennial Plants with Golden Blooms - Sometimes these charming plants are too-often ignored, but I personally love the cottage garden type of flowers available in biennial plants. Try these in your yellow garden.
