The number of varieties and types of cultivated plants is huge and increases every year.

Among the wide “range” of colors of field and garden plants, bright yellow flowers occupy a special place. They charm with their tenderness and sunshine. What are the names of these flowers, read below.

Tulip

A well-known flower, widespread throughout most of the planet, is the embodiment of tenderness and sophistication. This is a perennial bulbous plant of eastern origin.

There are about 1800 varieties of tulips, and this number is increasing every year.

Development from a seed to a fully flowering plant can take up to 7 years!

During the spring growing season, flowering occurs, the plant bears fruit and produces young bulbs. Faded bulbs die. This replacement occurs annually. The bulbs are dug up in August, dried and stored in a dry room.

Planting in the ground is done in the fall. From the 17th century To this day, the world center for tulip breeding is the Netherlands.

Today, gardening lovers have access to a chic assortment of yellow flowers. From low-growing annuals to two-meter perennials. Bright, “cheerful” yellow flowers will be an excellent decoration and highlight of the garden and lawn. The main thing is to choose the right varieties and provide suitable growth conditions, then they will delight and surprise their owners and their guests.

One of the early decorations of the “yellow” garden is forsythia, blooming profusely with bright yellow flowers on still leafless branches in April-May. This is one of the most unpretentious plants, although in severe winters in the middle zone, in places exposed to northern winds, it can freeze, which leads to a lack of flowering for the next two years. Therefore, in “high-risk” areas it is advisable to grow creeping forms.

In gardens you can often find forsythia hanging with persistent drooping stems, which are directed along the wall of a house, gazebo or fence, but more often it is grown as an ordinary shrub up to 2.5 m high, which is placed singly or in compositions of continuous flowering.

For a yellow palette, low, early-flowering bulbous plants (10 cm high) with bright yellow large flowers are ideal.

The most decorative of them iris Dunford, whose flowers appear in April-May before the leaves appear and have a pleasant aroma. The dwarf iris is attractive, 15-20 cm high, with yellow flowers appearing in early May.

Along with low-growing or dwarf irises that decorate rock gardens and the background of compositions, medium- and tall-growing large-flowered hybrid bearded irises, blooming in June, are widely used. The best varieties among them: "Ola Kala" - bright yellow, "Coraband" - two-color with a light yellow “top” and white “bottom” with a yellow border. The rhizomatous calamus or yellow iris (Iris pseudacorus) will fit perfectly into the “sunny” palette - the most unpretentious and tenacious of the irises, tall, with sword-shaped leaves and bright yellow flowers.

Blooming simultaneously with the iris and even sometimes ahead of it, it makes a noticeable contribution to the yellow gamut of early spring. vesennik(Eranthis) with golden yellow flowers (diameter 2.5 cm). It is worth paying attention to its varieties “Largest Yellow” and “Mammot Yellow”. Undoubtedly, the earliest flowering crocuses of the Chrysanthus group (golden-flowered), the flowers of most species of which are colored yellow, deserve wider distribution. In May, the lemon-yellow flowers of the imperial hazel grouse (variety "Maxima Lutea") open.

One of the profusely flowering and most unpretentious plants that appears at the beginning of summer - onion Moly (Allium moly). Loose inflorescences of yellow star-shaped flowers literally strew small bushes with belt-like leaves (20 cm high). This plant is indispensable for those gardeners who have no time to tend to their flower gardens; it requires almost no care: you just need to plant it correctly - in the sun, in well-drained soil.

Perhaps the most significant contribution to the yellow picture of the spring garden is made by daffodils. Some of the earliest varieties - "Golden Harvest" and "Rembrandt" - will attract your attention not only with their flowering time, but also with beautiful flowers with a large tubular corolla (crown). Of the early large-crowned daffodils, the most remarkable varieties are “Yellow Sun” (very early) and “Carlton” - suitable for forcing. Of the double yellow-colored daffodils, the most popular is "Golden Ducat". By skillfully selecting early-blooming varieties in combination with mid- and late-blooming ones, you can admire yellow daffodils from mid-April to early June.

In May, a modest, unpretentious perennial blooms with baskets of a bright golden-yellow hue with a characteristic shine. This doronicum(or roe), the flowering of which lasts about a month. For 4-5 years it grows regularly and blooms profusely in one place, requiring almost no care: if only the soil was not too poor, loose and not dry. It also blooms in partial shade, while the flowering period is even extended, it almost does not get sick (sometimes affected by powdery mildew), and is practically not affected by pests.

		Doronicum

Hybrid plants add their unique touch to the palette of the spring garden. primrose, unpretentious, grows well in light shade. As a rule, skillfully selected varieties are used to form beautiful carpets of variegated colors, including many yellow shades. Mono-compositions consisting entirely of yellow primroses are also good. No less interesting are the species of primroses - spring primrose (Primula veris) with bright yellow umbrella-shaped inflorescences and ear primrose (P. auricula) with large yellow flowers collected in loose umbrellas.

From tulips the best varieties are “West Point” (lily-flowered class) with a golden-yellow flower of an elegant shape and “Maja” (fringed class) with lemon-yellow petals, lighter fringe and a bright yellow center. An interesting early variety "Monte Carlo" (terry class) with a wide cup-shaped sunny yellow flower that emits a pleasant aroma. The variety is also attractive for its ability to be forced. Of the Darwin hybrids, it is worth noting the early "Golden Springtime" with bright sunny yellow shiny petals.

In June-July, unpretentious flowers delight with their flowering daylilies, among which there are often species and varieties with yellow flowers. Of interest from the group of Asian lily hybrids are the variety "Estafeta" with lemon-yellow flowers (diameter 11-13 cm), collected in 7-11 pieces in an inflorescence, 90-100 cm high, and the variety "Volkova" with golden-yellow flowers with a slight a touch of “tan”. The inflorescence contains 5-8 flowers with a diameter of up to 15 cm, plant height is 90-100 cm.

For lovers of perennials dahlia Dark yellow "Golden Charm" (flower diameter 12 cm) and "Ave Sol" with golden yellow inflorescences and brown tips of the petals are suitable.

In May-June, for 2-3 weeks, it smells of golden fragrant multi-flowered racemes. Mahonia holly (Mahonia aquifolium). More often they grow low-growing forms (30-40 cm) of this evergreen shrub with leathery glossy leaves, which are very decorative both in the warm season, when they are painted dark green, and with the onset of cold weather, when they acquire a pronounced bronze tint. Garden forms with golden and variegated leaves are interesting.

In June, lovely fragrant flowers bloom. mock oranges, without which a rare Russian garden can do. The vast majority of mock oranges have green leaves, but yellow-lovers may be interested in the yellow-leaved form of the crowned mock orange (Philadelphus coronarius "Aureus"), the crown of which stands out clearly against the background of dark green foliage.

Many gardeners would like to place incomparable 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 funnel-shaped flowers of golden color (diameter 3 cm). Sometimes it blooms again in the fall.

Dahlia

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

Of the unpretentious perennials that can add 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 simple or double. The plant is distinguished by abundant flowering, winter hardiness, and resistance to adverse conditions. Spring Adonis (Adonis vernalis) blooms in May, Siberian Adonis (A. sibirica) - in May-early June.

This is the time when blossoming and refined aquilegia(catchment), popular due to its large flowers of exotic shape, extreme unpretentiousness and the ability to bloom annually even under trees. Most species have flowers painted in pink, blue, lavender, lilac, cream and white tones, but lovers of the yellow palette may be interested in the golden-flowered aquilegia (Aquilegia chrysantha) with spectacular golden flowers with long spurs and a compact bush of decorative (until frost) openwork leaves tall up to 80 cm.

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

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

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

The difficulty of timely limiting the expansion or seizure of territory by tall goldenrods often lies in the extraordinary similarity of their stems and leaves with the very decorative Helenium autumnale. And only in July and early August, when the buds of goldenrod and helenium appear, the differences between these perennials become obvious.

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 for a long time when cut and can decorate any bouquet of autumn flowers.

Unpretentious ones still bloom in May-June swimsuits, not demanding on the sun: as long as the soils are moist (but without stagnant water) and not too poor. Hybrid swimsuits with large pale lemon flowers and varieties of European swimsuit (Trollius europaeus) with dull yellow flowers are good. In one place, the swimsuit grows diligently for 5-6 years, after which the bushes divide or propagate the plant with freshly collected seeds.

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

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

Speaking about ground cover plants that form the yellow palette of the summer garden, one cannot help but pay tribute to the perennial sedum caustic (Sedum acre): it lines the soil with branched stems with fleshy leaves, above which corymbose inflorescences of numerous small bright yellow flowers rise. Flowering continues from June to mid-July. Young shoots are formed until late autumn. Sedums can be easily propagated by dividing bushes in early spring or autumn, as well as by green cuttings and seeds, but in this case flowering occurs only after 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(variety "Helios") with elegant wavy edges of the petals. The winter-hardy variety "Wintersonne" is also very interesting, 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 tones of the garden, we should note the perennial mullein(Verbascum blattaria) 170-220 cm high with paniculate inflorescences of medium-sized yellow flowers that bloom in July.

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

They are 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 the beautiful rudbeckia (R. speciosa) with dominant yellow -orange and yellow-golden tones, sometimes with the addition of red-brown color.

Among the late summer lilies Of undoubted interest is the variety "Connecticut King" from the group of Asian hybrids (115 cm high) with goblet-shaped bright yellow flowers (diameter 16 cm), 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, dimorphotheca, calendula, etc.

Annual deserves greater distribution sunflower, or helianthus, the decorative species of which attract large inflorescences and powerful stems more than 2 m high. The diameter of the “flower” reaches 36 cm. Flowering lasts from July to September. Sunflower looks great both in groups and in single plantings.

The most interesting nasturtiums are low-growing or dwarf varieties with yellow flowers, including 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 compositions of blooming antirrinums, known among us as snapdragons. Varieties with yellow flowers are suitable for our range: Yellow, which blooms in June-July, and Super Jet, which opens its flowers in July.

The biennial is of undoubted interest and deserves wider distribution. evening primrose(Oenothera biennis), called night candle or aspen grass. This unusual plant is classified as a plant whose flowers open in the evening and during the day only in cloudy weather. Unlike the sun-loving purslane and dimorphotheca, which were almost invisible in the rainy, cloudy summer of the year 2000, the evening primrose candle, like an everlasting beacon, “shone” in the night with large bright yellow flowers located on a needle-shaped stem 90 to 120 cm high. Flowers emit a pleasant aroma.

Flowering lasts from July to October. If you don't already have this plant in your garden, be sure to plant it. Evening primrose seeds are sown at the end of May-June. Young seedlings require cultivated soils and a warm location. Be sure to cover the seedlings by winter. Plant the plants in semi-shaded places, under trees, so that evening primrose opens its glossy bright flowers even in the daytime. Plant a group of evening primroses next to a 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 sunflower (Heliopsis scabra). It can rarely be found 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 the flowering of an ornamental garden chrysanthemum Korean. It easily tolerates light frosts, resuming flowering, while many biennials and perennials have long since faded. It is the chrysanthemum that sends the last farewell greetings to the passing summer and welcomes winter. Distinguished by its great resistance to cold, it is distributed further 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 zone, chrysanthemums are covered or dug up for the winter. Korean chrysanthemums are great for cutting; no autumn arrangement would be complete without them. The plant easily tolerates replanting, and if you, leaving the dacha in October, transplant a blooming chrysanthemum from the soil into a pot, it will remind you of summer on the windowsill in a city apartment for several more weeks.

Yellow garden flowers always add dynamism to a flower bed and decorate the area. There are a huge number of their types. If you are planning to decorate your site with such plants, then in this article you will find many attractive options: both annual and perennial flowers. Choose which ones you like best.

Sun King

Here it is - the most popular yellow flower. The name, of course, is known to everyone: it is a sunflower. The plant not only has high economic value, but also looks very attractive. This huge flower on a tall, thick stem as tall as a person certainly attracts the eye and becomes a bright accent in a flowerbed or vegetable garden. Sunflower is extremely unpretentious to the soil, the main thing is that moisture does not stagnate in it. Short-term droughts will not harm it either: its origin from the hot American prairies affects it. This annual is sown directly into the ground; regular watering will help to form large flowers. It is advisable to tie the plant so that strong winds do not break it.

It is believed that the sunflower is so popular because it is a humanoid plant. The yellow flower looks like a head that looks at the sun, and when it begins to grow old, it bows it sadly. It’s not for nothing that sunflowers inspired such artists as Van Gogh and Picasso.

From the moment they were brought to Europe, they gained immense popularity: they could be found near every home. At the beginning of the 20th century, Russian breeders developed more productive and disease-resistant varieties, and since the 60s they have been grown at an industrial level.

Well, to the delight of gardeners, decorative species were created, in which the flowers are often smaller, but can boast of an interesting color. Please note that many of these varieties have inedible seeds.

If you want to delight your guests and envy your neighbors, then plant a decorative Teddy Bear sunflower with a fluffy head. Children will be delighted with such a miracle.

But regardless of appearance, growing all sunflowers is not difficult.

Steadfast lady

In their homeland - North America - these yellow wildflowers are called “black-eyed Suzanne”, in Europe they are called “sun hat”, but here they are known under the name that Carl Linnaeus gave them - rudbeckia, in honor of the Swedish botanists - father and son of the Rudbeks.

This flower with yellow flowers is extremely unpretentious and resistant to heat and drought. The height of rudbeckia is from 50 cm to 2-3 m, depending on the variety. The plant prefers neutral soils with good drainage and sunny or slightly shaded areas. Rudbeckia can be either annual, biennial or perennial. Most species have a strong self-seeding ability.

High varieties are suitable for cutting; the flowers do not fade for about a week. Removing old buds only enhances the formation of new ones. Rudbeckia blooms for a long time and attracts butterflies. Moreover, there is a charming climbing variety that will decorate gazebos and pergolas.

Attractive and useful

And also extremely unpretentious. This is calendula, a small flower with yellow flowers. Another name for it is marigold. It is widely used in cooking, medicine and cosmetology. A plant with yellow flowers is very attractive to pollinating insects, but it repels mole crickets with its characteristic smell. Therefore, calendula paths in the garden are not only beautiful, but also useful.

This flower with yellow flowers is a self-sowing annual and grows so well from fallen seeds that it can grow in one place for years, capturing more and more territory. If you want to leave young shoots, then some of them will have to be removed, otherwise they will choke themselves. Calendula tolerates light shade; moreover, in regions with hot summers it is even necessary. Otherwise, flowering will stop in the heat.

Calendula is undemanding when it comes to soil; plant it directly in the ground and water it as needed. Most species will require removal of old buds for long-term flowering. But there are varieties without this drawback, and also with larger or double buds.

From the end of spring until the first frost, this plant with yellow flowers will delight you with many small bright inflorescences that will definitely come in handy. A decoction of them helps fight pimples and inflammation on problem skin, strengthens hair and protects it from dandruff.

Yellow perennial flowers

One of the plants that you can “count on” and that is guaranteed not to disappoint you is the daylily. It has a lot of species, among which you can find gorgeous yellow garden flowers.

A daylily bud lives only one day - from dawn to dusk, but there are up to 12 of them on the stem, so they will delight you for a long time. Most species bloom once a year, but if you try, you can find remontant varieties that bloom twice a season. The height of the plant is from 30 cm to 1.2 m, which allows it to be used in different roles in the flower bed.

Daylily prefers sunny areas (at least 6 hours of direct light), moist but loose soil. Bulbs are planted in spring or autumn, in cold regions - in spring. Regular watering, fertilizing with compost once a year and shelter for the winter - these are the main requirements of the daylily for its owners. After 4-5 years the bush will have to be divided.

If you're looking for a splash of sunshine, consider Hyperion, one of the oldest and most popular daylily varieties. It is a persistent flower with yellow flowers and a delightful scent. In the photo below, daylily and rudbeckia beautifully coexist in a sunny composition.

Famous yellow flower

Everyone knows the name of this plant. Narcissus is one of the first to decorate gardens in early spring. The bulbs are planted in early autumn, buried to a height equal to two bulbs, so that they do not freeze in winter. After this, they need to be covered with leaves. Before planting, the soil should be enriched with compost and watered thoroughly.

After this, narcissists require almost no effort from you. Watering, spring fertilizing with compost, covering for the winter - their care is minimal. Once every 4-5 years, the bush is divided after the plant has flowered and the leaves have completely died off. Young onions are immediately planted in a new place, the main thing is not to accidentally touch them with a shovel or hoe while working in the garden.

If you think that narcissus is a simple flower, then choose interesting double varieties, such as Pencrebar.

Pot of gold

This is what coreopsis is called in some countries. This is another beautiful plant with yellow flowers, which has enviable vitality, and is grown as both an annual and perennial.

Coreopsis seeds can be planted directly into the soil when it warms up. They need sunlight to germinate, so you just need to lightly cover them with soil and keep it moist. But coreopsis will bloom only next year. If you grow it from seedlings planted in March, then you can expect the first buds already this season.

An adult plant will delight you with flowering almost all summer, and in return it will only require watering and cutting off old buds (up to 1/3 of the entire bush).

Like many asteraceae, coreopsis is a self-seeding plant. There is no need to fertilize it; at most, cover the soil around it with a thin layer of compost every spring. Tall varieties should be tied up, and after the first frost, cut off the above-ground part of the plant, leaving 3-5 cm, and cover it for the winter.

goldenrod

Isn't it a very beautiful name for a plant that blooms with yellow flowers? In addition to being decorative, goldenrod is attractive to bees and butterflies, so plant it to encourage pollinating insects to come to your yard. This yellow-flowered flower is unfairly blamed for exacerbating allergic reactions in people, but in fact the culprit is ragweed, which blooms at the same time as it, in August and September.

Goldenrod is a perennial that can be sown directly into the soil. It is tolerant of a variety of conditions, but does best in sunny locations and well-drained soils. It requires almost no care other than minimal watering and dividing the bush every 3-5 years.

Yellow wildflowers of this species are less attractive than specially bred ones and are considered a weed, and Canadian goldenrod has gained particular popularity in the CIS.

Exquisite beauty

Aquilegia is a less frequent guest in our gardens, but this deficiency must be corrected as soon as possible. After all, it boasts not only very beautiful flowers of a bizarre shape, but also interesting openwork foliage, which turns red in the fall. This is a perennial plant, however, by the third or fourth year of life it begins to weaken. But in nature everything is thought out. In the first year, Aquilegia gains strength, in the second it blooms and spreads seeds, in the third year the plant still blooms, but is already beginning to fade, and young shoots are preparing to take its place.

Another interesting feature of this plant is that it can cope with bright sun if regularly watered, but prefers partial shade. Therefore, aquilegia makes excellent company with more modest hostas and shrubs.

Flowering begins in late spring - early summer and lasts 4-6 weeks. Cutting off the buds helps prolong it. If you specifically need a flower with yellow flowers, then choose varieties Origami Yellow, Yellow Star, Sunshine and others.

Aquilegia loves rich, moist soil. Therefore, before planting, add compost generously to the soil. The seeds only need to be lightly covered as they require sunlight to grow.

Watering for aquilegia is very important; in hot summers it can dry out, so carefully monitor the condition of the soil around the flower. Feed it monthly with liquid complex fertilizer.

Just in case, it is better to collect seeds, but do not forget that the plant is prone to cross-pollination and varietal characteristics are quickly lost.

In autumn, you need to cut off the foliage to prevent pests from overwintering, and be sure to cover the plant.

These sunny flowers can settle in your garden and decorate it throughout the season.

Meadow plants are a fairly rich community, developing more dynamically than mountain or steppe ones. Meadow flowers and grasses compete for light, nutrients, and water, and therefore grow much more actively than their forest counterparts, as well as representatives of the mountains and steppes. Meadow plants include thousands of species, and most of them can be grown in your garden plots.

You can find photos and names of meadow flowers and grasses, as well as descriptions of meadow plants on this page.

What are meadow plants?
