Perennials with yellow flowers
If you’re looking to fill your beds, borders and containers with yellow flowering perennials, this list should help. Yellow is the perfect colour to bring a ray of sunshine into your garden. These cheerful blooms naturally help lift your mood, spanning bright lemon yellows through to softer pastel shades of canary yellow and richer shades of medallion. Bright yellow and golden flowers are highly attractive to pollinators and beneficial insects such as bees, butterflies and hoverflies, helping you create a garden that is well and truly teeming with wildlife. Yellow is a highly versatile colour, combining well with reds and oranges to create a ‘hot’, tropical looking border, or contrasted with blues and purples to create a bold, vibrant planting. Golden yellows often stand out more than any other colour in a rich tapestry of colours. Our favourite yellow flowering perennials are Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' with its beautiful, golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers with prominent, strongly-contrasting black centres; Lupinus 'West Country Desert Sun' producing tall, rich custard yellow flower spikes favoured by bees; and Iris pseudacorus with cheery bright yellow blooms from mid to late summer.
