More Information About Yellow/Gold Foliage Plants

Plants with gold or yellow foliage put the Midas touch in your garden!

If you have a dull dark spot in the garden, and you want season-long color to brighten it, nothing works better than plants with gold or yellow foliage. Colored leaves last a lot longer than any flower, and since they cover the plant from top to bottom, provide more visual impact too. Here at Plant Delights Nursery, we have a huge on-line catalog of perennials and we have culled it to create this mini-catalog of plants with gold or yellow foliage.
