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.
Some of our favorite flaxen-leaved plants include: Acorus, Aralia, Aucuba, Carex, Liriope, Colocasia, Corydalis, Dicentra, Heuchera, Heucherella, gold Hosta, Illicium, Vinca, Yucca.
But there are plenty of other great plants with gold or yellow foliage in the mini-catalog below. When you are ready to buy plants with gold or yellow foliage for your garden, check out our online list of plants with gold or yellow foliage for sale.
