Yellow sunflowers

Yellow might just be the most cheerful colour, so it really does not surprise us to know that many gardeners want to grow at least one garden plant with yellow flowers. And we think you should grow more! The brightness of yellow really pops against almost any background giving you a bright and cheery view! 

Yellow is also very versatile – it can be combined with red and orange shades to create a HOT border or contrasted with blue for a vibrant and bold look. We at The Growers have picked out a few of our favourite garden plants with yellow flowers.
