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.

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.
Some of our favorite flaxen-leaved plants include: Acorus, Aralia, Aucuba, Carex, Liriope, Colocasia, Corydalis, Dicentra, Heuchera, Heucherella, gold Hosta, Illicium, Vinca, Yucca.
