Yellow Flowering Plants

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.

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.

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.

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.
