An interesting experience for a gardener of any level will be the creation of a monochrome flower bed with plants designed in a single color scheme. You can start, for example, with yellow, encouraging and empowering.

It is better to take perennial plants for flower beds, so that the man-made "sun" of your garden can please you not just for one season, but for many years.

In order for a flower garden of yellow perennials to look most harmonious, the height of the plants should be taken into account. For example, charming dwarf irises are best planted in the same flower bed with crocuses, and rudbeckia, whose height varies from 1.5 to 2 meters, with elecampane.

Below you will find a convenient list of perennials, divided into three groups depending on height: tall - 1-2.5 meters, medium-sized - 30-100 cm and undersized - up to 30 cm.

tall perennials

Tall perennials are able to add a touch of individuality to. Here are some examples of the most effective representatives of the group:

  • Buzulnik or Ligularia (Ligularia) is a perennial plant with small, but very cute flowers, collected in long inflorescences. Reaches a height of 1.5 meters.
  • Elecampane or Yellow (Inula) is a beautiful perennial whose flowers are a bit like an aster. Plant height varies from 1.5 to 2 meters.
  • Rudbeckia (Rudbeckia) - a herbaceous plant with bright flowers of rich yellow or orange color. Height - from 50 cm to 3 m.
  • Medium-sized perennials

    Among medium-sized perennial flowers that look advantageous both in single and in group plantings, one can distinguish:


    undersized perennials

    A real gardener's joy. Beautiful and at the same time not whimsical flowers to care for, can be planted in single ridges, rockeries, used as part of flower beds, and also decorate borders or others with them.

    Look great low-growing species of perennials and along garden paths and as part of mixborders. In general, the choice of a place for planting these plants is a matter of taste for a summer resident.

    Undersized perennials, including yellow ones, include:
    • Adonis or Yellowflower (Adonis) is a perennial herbaceous plant 20-30 cm high, but can reach 40 cm. It blooms with single flowers of a golden hue.
    • (Hyacinthus) - bulbous perennial with flowers collected in graceful brushes. Height - up to 30 cm.
    • Primrose or Primula (Primula) is a flowering herbaceous plant. The variety of primrose species is so great that almost any color can be chosen. Height - from 10 to 40 cm.
    • Saffron or Crocus (Crocus) - these babies have a poorly developed stem, so they rise very low above the ground. However, this is fully compensated by beautiful flowers, the number of which from one corm can even reach 2-3 pieces.

    Types and varieties of yellow perennials

The best varieties among them: "Ola Kala" - bright yellow, "Coraband" - two-tone with a light yellow "top" and white with a yellow border "bottom". The rhizomatous iris iris, or yellow (Iris pseudacorus), is the most unpretentious and tenacious of irises, tall, with xiphoid leaves and bright yellow flowers.

    Blooming simultaneously with the iris and sometimes even ahead of it, a significant contribution to the yellow range of early spring is made by spring(Eranthis) with golden yellow flowers (diameter 2.5 cm).

This plant is indispensable for those gardeners who have no time to engage in a flower garden, it requires almost no care: you just need to plant it correctly - in the sun, in well-drained soil.

The vast majority of mock oranges have green leaves, but for lovers of yellow, the yellow-leaved form of the coronal mock-up (Philadelphus coronarius "Aureus"), the crown of which stands out clearly against the background of dark green foliage, may be of interest.

    Many gardeners would like to plant incomparable plants in their garden. rhododendrons, unfortunately, rarely found in the middle zone of the country due to extreme sensitivity to frost. At the same time, the culture of golden rhododendron (Rhododendron aureum) is quite acceptable - a creeping shrub that blooms in May-June with golden funnel-shaped flowers (3 cm in diameter). Sometimes it blooms again in autumn.

    Interesting unpretentious bloodroot bush or Kuril tea (Potentilla fruticosa). Its yellow flowers, collected in shields, reach a diameter of 3 cm. This frost-resistant plant is easily propagated by layering, offspring, dividing the bush and seeds, including self-sowing, and cuttings.

    Of the unpretentious perennials that can bring a unique charm to the yellow palette of the garden, we should mention Adonis with single flowers of an egg-yellow hue (diameter up to 6-7 cm). Flowers can be single or double. The plant is characterized by abundant flowering, winter hardiness, resistance to adverse conditions. Spring Adonis (Adonis vernalis) blooms in May, Siberian Adonis (A. sibirica) - in May and early June.

    pay attention to jaundice beautiful (Erysimum pulchellum) with creeping branched stems 15-40 cm high and honey-golden flowers collected in a brush. This unpretentious perennial drought-resistant, but loves fertile soil and sun. Very good for decorating rock gardens, mixborders, for decorating slopes. Blossoms in late May - June, propagated by sowing seeds in spring and autumn.

    And here is another lover of the sun - goldenrod(Solidago), also called gold, golden rod - requires careful handling. Tall varieties of this plant, quickly forming impenetrable thickets of bushes with densely leafy, woody shoots up to 1.5-2 m high by the end of summer, are able to flood the entire flower garden in a year or two, displacing their neighbors. If they are not limited in time, after 2-3 years it will be necessary to cut down the goldenrod rhizomes with an ax: they quickly form densely woven continuous layers up to 30-50 cm deep, next to which there is no place for anyone, even weeds.

    However, there are undersized, very decorative and non-aggressive varieties of goldenrod, which will undoubtedly decorate any flower garden. These are "Baby Gold" (about 65 cm high), "Perkeo" (60 cm), "Lemore" (45 cm, lemon yellow) and "Golden Thumb" (30 cm).

    The difficulty in the timely restriction of expansion or the capture of territory by tall goldenrods often lies in the extraordinary similarity of their stems and leaves with a very decorative autumn gelenium (Helenium autumnale). And only in July-early August, when goldenrod and helenium buds appear, the differences between these perennials become apparent.

    If spontaneous reproduction in the garden can be avoided, goldenrod makes a worthy contribution to the garden palette in June-September with its yellow baskets collected in long panicles, smelling of honey. In addition, it lasts a long time in the cut and is able to decorate any bouquet of autumn flowers.

    In May-June, unpretentious flowers still bloom bathing suits, not demanding on the sun: as long as the soils are moist (but without stagnant water) and not too poor. Good hybrid bathing suits with large pale lemon flowers and varieties of European bathing suit (Trollius europaeus) with flowers of a dull yellow hue. In one place, the swimsuit diligently grows for 5-6 years, after which the bushes divide or propagate the plant with freshly harvested seeds.

    For lovers of bright carpets of flowers, a perennial ground cover that is rarely found in gardens is suitable sunflower coin (Helianthemum nummularium). It forms a dense blanket of recumbent, strongly pubescent stems 15-20 cm high with leathery small leaves, covered with gray felt from below. Golden flowers, collected in a curl, open in the morning only in sunny weather, crumbling by noon. But they are replaced by new ones - this goes on throughout June and July.

    Sunflower is unpretentious, cold-resistant, drought-resistant, easily propagated by seeds, including self-sowing. Sunflower carpets will decorate not only borders and rock gardens, but also slopes and screes.

    Speaking of ground cover plants that form the yellow palette of the summer garden, one cannot fail to pay tribute to the perennial stonecrop caustic (Sedum acre): it lines the soil with branched stems with fleshy awl leaves, above which rise corymbose inflorescences of numerous small bright yellow flowers. Flowering continues from June to mid-July. Young shoots are formed until late autumn. Stonecrops are easy to propagate by dividing the bushes in early spring or autumn, as well as by green cuttings and seeds, but in this case flowering occurs only for 2-3 years.

    Spring and the first half of summer will be decorated with large bright golden yellow (up to 5.5 cm in diameter) flowers pansies(grade "Helios") with elegant wavy edges of the petals. The winter-hardy variety "Wintersonne" with a compact bush (25-27 cm) and large flowers (4.5-5.5 cm) of lemon-golden color with dark brown spots on the lower petals.

    Among the tall ornamental plants that can organically fit into the yellow range of the garden, it should be noted perennial mullein(Verbascum blattaria) 170-220 cm high with paniculate inflorescences of medium-sized yellow flowers that bloom in July.

    A powerful ornamental ornamental plant with huge basal leaves and large baskets of radiant yellow flowers - blooms in July. These background plants are suitable for large areas, where in single groups they look good on the lawn.

    Deservedly popular rudbeckia. In addition to the tall (up to 2 m) variety of dissected rudbeckia (Rudbeckia laciniata), blooming from June to mid-September with semi-double or densely double yellow-orange-golden inflorescences, known as "golden balls", one can note beautiful rudbeckia (R. speciosa) with dominant yellow - orange and yellow-golden tones, sometimes with the addition of red-brown color.

    Among late summer lilies Of undoubted interest is the variety "Connecticut King" from the group of Asian hybrids (115 cm high) with cup-shaped bright yellow flowers (16 cm in diameter), collected up to 30 pieces in dense inflorescences. This lily blooms for 20 days starting in late July.

    An indispensable part of the yellow palette are annuals - nasturtium, dimorfoteka, calendula, etc.

    Deserves more distribution sunflower, or helianthus, whose decorative species are attracted by large inflorescences and powerful stems more than 2 m high. The diameter of the “flower” reaches 36 cm. Flowering continues from July to September. Sunflower looks great both in groups and in single plantings.

    Most interesting nasturtiums are undersized or dwarf varieties with yellow flowers, among which varieties "Golden Globe" with a compact bush (25 cm) and double flowers and "Goldglanz" with creeping stems and large double golden flowers with yellow strokes on the upper petals.

    beautiful flower arrangements antirrinums, known to us as Snapdragon. For our range, varieties with yellow flowers are suitable: Yellow, which blooms in June-July, and Super Jet, which opens its flowers in July.

    Of undoubted interest and deserves wider dissemination is the biennial evening primrose(Oenothera biennis), called the night candle or primrose. This unusual plant belongs to plants whose flowers open in the evening, and during the day - only in cloudy weather. In contrast to the sun-loving purslane and dimorphoteca, which were almost invisible in the rainy, cloudy summer of the year 2000, the primrose candle, like a never-ending beacon, "shone" in the night with large bright yellow flowers located on a needle-like stem 90 to 120 cm high. Flowers emit a pleasant aroma.

    Flowering continues from July to October. If your garden does not already have this plant, be sure to plant it. Evening primrose seeds are sown in late May-June. Young seedlings require cultivated soils and a warm location. Be sure to cover the seedlings by winter. Plant plants in semi-shady places, under trees, so that evening primrose opens its glossy bright flowers. Plant a group of evening primrose next to the porch or gazebo - very soon you will see the reflection of its flowers in the dark and feel their delicate aroma.

    Interesting perennial heliopsis rough, or dory (Heliopsis scabra). It is rarely seen in home gardens, but it deserves more attention. Its simple, semi-double or double golden-yellow "flowers" bloom profusely until frost. The height of this plant is 80-90 cm. Heliopsis is propagated by dividing 4-5-year-old bushes in spring and autumn, by green cuttings in May or by seeds in spring.

    Completes flowering ornamental garden chrysanthemum Korean. It easily tolerates light frosts, resuming flowering, while many biennials and perennials have long faded. It is the chrysanthemum that sends the last farewell greetings of the outgoing summer and meets the winter. Distinguished by great resistance to cold, it is distributed farther north than other perennials and is capable of producing seeds in these areas.

    For a garden with a yellow palette, the non-double variety "Autumn" is suitable, blooming from August until frost with bright yellow inflorescences with a characteristic honey aroma (diameter 7 cm) on a strong compact bush 55-60 cm high, and "Border Yellow" with fragrant bright golden inflorescences (diameter 6.5 cm) on a small bush 45 cm high. In the middle lane, chrysanthemums are covered or dug up for the winter. Korean chrysanthemums are great for cutting, and no autumn arrangement can do without them. The plant easily tolerates a transplant, and if you, leaving your dacha in October, transplant a flowering chrysanthemum from the ground into a pot, it will remind you of summer on the windowsill in a city apartment for several more weeks.
