Yellow is the colour of a garden in full swing. It catches the sun, lifts a dull corner, and works from the first bulbs of spring to the last daisies of autumn.

Using yellow flowering plants

Yellow is the easiest bright colour to place. It reads as warm and cheerful, bounces light into shady spots, and mixes happily with blue for contrast or with orange and red for heat. Soft primrose yellows calm a scheme down, while strong golden yellows turn the volume up.

The plants here flower right across the year, so you can keep yellow running from spring into autumn with a little planning. Most prefer sun, where the colour looks brightest, and most are easy, reliable growers that reward very little effort. They suit borders, gravel and large pots.

All grown for UK gardens and sent out well rooted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which yellow flowering plants flower for the longest?

Several perennials here bloom for months, particularly the daisy types, and keep going if you deadhead. Mixing early and late kinds gives you yellow from spring through autumn.

Do yellow flowering plants need full sun?

Most look their best and flower hardest in full sun. Some cope with a little shade but tend to flower less. Each plant page lists the aspect it prefers.

What colours go well with yellow flowers?

Yellow with blue is a crisp, classic contrast. Yellow with orange and red builds a hot, sunny scheme. Softer yellows also sit well with white and green for something calmer.

Are yellow flowering plants good for pollinators?

Very. Open, daisy-shaped yellow flowers are easy for bees and hoverflies to work, so this is a good colour to plant if you want more wildlife in the garden.
