Summer Blooms: 11 Yellow Flowers to Nurture and Enjoy
In the heart of autumn, gardens burst with a kaleidoscope of colours. This article highlights some of the most vibrant yellow plants that thrive in various USDA zones, providing a splash of sunshine as the leaves change hues.
Garden mums, a popular choice for the fall, offer a captivating display of colour throughout the season. These resilient plants prefer rich, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade and are hardy in zones 3-9. Plant them in the ground for lovely mounds of colour in the waning flower bed.
Snapdragons, with their distinctive two-lipped, tubular flowers resembling a dragon's snout, are another great addition to your autumn garden. These plants thrive in full sun to part shade and moist, rich, well-drained soil. In zones 7 and warmer, snapdragons may overwinter as short-lived, tender perennials.
For those in zones 8 and warmer, consider bidens, a hardy perennial species that appreciates rich, well-drained soil in full sun. Bidens offer small, golden, daisy-like flowers that bloom above ferny foliage all season long.
Yellow ornamental plants suitable for USDA zones 6-10 include the Quedlinburger "Big Max" pumpkin, a winter-hardy variety with yellow flowers that can grow up to 200 cm. While specific yellow-flowering shrubs or perennials hardy in these zones are not fully listed, typical winter-hardy yellow garden plants often include species like forsythia, witch hazel, or yellow-flowering daylilies, which thrive in USDA zones 6-10.
Sunflowers, a garden staple, come in various heights and should be placed in back borders or massed for a stunning statement. These plants, which grow in almost every zone, thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, attracting birds and bees.
Remember to place these vibrant yellow plants strategically in your garden for a stunning autumn display. Whether you're looking for perennials, shrubs, or tall plants like sunflowers, there's a yellow plant that will thrive in your garden and bring a touch of sunshine to your autumn days.
