    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.
