![]() Yellow foliage plants? Of course, including hakonechloa grass, hostas, and heuchera.Īnd if a daisy isn’t white, it should be yellow.Įlizabeth Licata has been a regular writer for Garden Rant since 2007, after contributing a guest rant about the overuse of American flags in front gardens. They are being used throughout the space, from front to back, either in pots or providing a touch of color to the black shade of the front garden. I fell in love with begonias last year, mainly the fuller tuberous ones, but these Regers are also fabulous, mainly for their color. ![]() My favorite yellow rose is David Austin’s Charlotte. The happy columbines grow tall enough to stand on equal footing with two yellow climbing roses back there. ![]() I use yellow columbines with violet veronica on the alley behind our house. I have often striven for this in tulip pairings, though the Akebono Darwin hybrid-yellow semidouble with red edging and green at the base-is so spectacular it should never be forced to share space with any other tulip. Then there was the article proclaiming, “If there were a color that represents happiness in the garden, it would have to be yellow.” (It was not this source, but was syndicated in something else I saw and forgot.) The article also notes, “Yellow’s complementary color is violet or purple.” Absolutely. (The other pick is a nice gray.) Usually, I couldn’t care less about the shades Pantone anoints yearly, and get annoyed when they make their way into plant marketing, but this one had me nodding in agreement. As it happens, a yellow shade, Illuminating, is one of the 2021 Pantone colors. I’m not exactly mad about saffron, but I do love the seasonal yellows I am seeing throughout the garden.
