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.

It’s not at all difficult to make a “Sunny Flowerbed” with your own hands that blooms for many years, from early spring to late autumn. It’s worth figuring out: what plants and their varieties should I plant? When creating a composition of yellow flowers, it is important to consider the height of the plant and the timing of flowering. You will get an optimal and bright flower bed if you alternate flowers in this order:

Spring plants are tall;
Summer plants are tall;
Autumn plants are tall;
Spring plants are medium-sized;
Summer plants are medium-sized;
Autumn plants are medium-sized;
Spring plants are low-growing;
Summer plants are low-growing;
Autumn plants are low-growing.

Such a flowerbed can be created in any shape; it will delight you with constant flowering without changing its appearance.

Yellow perennials blooming in spring

When choosing spring perennials, first of all, you need to pay attention to bulbous plants; most often they are unpretentious and get along well with other plants:

When combining different flowers in a flower bed, it is important to choose varieties of flowers that will suit this place: sunny or shaded, deep-growing roots or not.

Yellow perennials blooming in summer

Rock gardens and rockeries are often made from summer, yellow plants. With the correct selection of perennial flowers, the gardener's time for caring for plants will be reduced several times.

Yellow perennials blooming in autumn

It is not recommended to transplant a plant before it reaches 5 years of age - it is difficult to tolerate this procedure and may die. If you still need to replant, it is better to do it in the autumn.

Iris

Thanks to it, moisture will be retained in the soil. Humus is also suitable; it will simultaneously nourish the flower. Fresh manure is not suitable for use as fertilizer.

Viola looks good as a single plant or in the company of other flowers. Often varieties such as Rhine Gold and Golden Crown are used for planting in flower beds.

Clematis

Refers to perennial or woody plants. He loves warmth, so he should be covered for the winter. Plant in sunny areas in well-fertilized soil. Acidic soil is not suitable for planting; good drainage must be ensured.

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.

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.

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. Interesting early variety"Monte Carlo" (terry class) with a wide-cupped, 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.

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.

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 appropriate in 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 the 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 flowering 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.
