++Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla)
Lady’s Mantle is a garden classic known for its lush green foliage and a modest height of about 12 inches. It produces airy clusters of chartreuse or yellow-green flowers that look amazing in bouquets. If you’re looking to fill a shady spot, this is your plant! It’s incredibly versatile—use it as a groundcover or tuck it in between other flowers. Just make sure the soil stays moist and nutrient-rich, and you’ll find that Lady’s Mantle happily spreads on its own.
++Cowslip (Primula veris)
The Cowslip is a charming yellow perennial that returns faithfully every spring. While you might have spotted these nodding yellow bells growing wild in meadows or along woodland edges, they make fantastic garden additions. They are fully hardy and are among the first to bring a pop of color to the garden early in the year. Once they’re settled in the right spot, they’re virtually “set it and forget it” plants.
++Globeflower (Trollius europaeus)
If you want a really intense, buttery yellow, the Globeflower is a winner. It’s a fast grower and handles cold winters like a champ. The main thing to remember is that these beauties are thirsty! They crave moisture and actually thrive in damp or even boggy soil. Give them a wet spot in your yard, and they’ll reward you with beautiful blooms year after year.
++Yellow Foxglove (Digitalis grandiflora)
Searching for something tall that makes a statement from across the yard? Yellow Foxglove is a fantastic choice. This perennial does great in partially shaded spots, where it will often self-seed and create a gorgeous natural look. It’s a favorite for woodland or cottage-style gardens. Just a quick heads-up: like all foxgloves, this plant is toxic, so keep that in mind if you have curious pets or kiddos around.
++Fern-Leaf Yarrow (Achillea filipendulina)
If you have a sunny spot with rich soil, Yarrow is an absolute must-have. It loves the sun and produces flat-topped yellow flower heads that bees and butterflies absolutely adore. By planting this perennial, you’re not just beautifying your yard—you’re supporting your local pollinators, too. Expect a long show of color starting in June and lasting well into the fall.
++King’s Spear (Asphodeline)
King’s Spear is a real showstopper that can reach over three feet tall. It’s an early bloomer, with yellow star-shaped flowers appearing on tall spikes starting in April and lasting through June. To keep this plant happy, make sure you put it in a spot with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil.
++Shiny Coneflower (Rudbeckia nitida)
You can’t go wrong with a Coneflower (Rudbeckia) for classic yellow garden vibes. They are incredibly versatile and look great in traditional flower beds or more modern landscapes. You can plant them in full sun or partial shade—just try to avoid deep shade, as they really need that light to produce those iconic “happy” flowers.
%%Evening Primrose (Oenothera)
The Evening Primrose offers a magical twist: its bright yellow blossoms usually wait until the evening to open up. If you love spending time on your patio or deck at twilight, this is the perfect plant for you. It grows quite tall and its luminous flowers are sure to catch your eye even as the sun goes down.
