Adding Yellow & Orange to Your Flower Garden

Adding Yellow & Orange to Your Flower Garden

Yellow is a beautiful, vibrant color that seems to be full of life and happiness. It’s an excellent color to add to your garden too, when you want to attract butterflies, hummingbirds, or other birds. Large batches of bright yellow in the garden are particularly attractive for hummingbirds.

Whether you want to create an all yellow flower garden, or you’d simply like to add splashes of yellow to your existing color mix, here are several suggestions for you…

Desert or Mexican Goldpoppy - These adorable poppy flowers have a color that ranges from yellow to orange, and they bloom from February through May in the Western desert states such as Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas. These flowers open wide on bright sunny days, and close at night time or when it’s cloudy.

Garden Tip...

The proper regulation of the atmosphere as to moisture and temperature, is one of the most important points to be observed in cultivating plants in the parlor, or window-garden. Plants will not flourish, bloom, and be healthy, in a dry, dusty atmosphere, even though the best of care otherwise may be bestowed upon them.

Yellow Evening Primrose - This is an herb which is sometimes called a sundrop, and it blooms from February to May in Arizona and California. It’s a small and delicate little yellow flower which opens around sunset, and closes again not long after the sun rises each morning. On cloudy days it may stay open longer too.

Garden Tip...

If a new lawn of any extent is to be made, it should first be plowed deep, and if uneven and hilly, grade it to a level surface. The surface should have a heavy dressing of manure, which should be lightly plowed under, and then the surface should be dragged several times until fine, and then rolled with a heavy roller. The seed may now be sown, after which it should be rolled again. The spring is the best time to do this work, although if the fall be dry, it will answer nearly as well to do it at that time. The dryer the ground in preparing it for the seed, and for the sowing of the same, the better.

Yellow Jessamine - This bright yellow funnel shaped flower grows on vines which can reach up to twenty feet in length. The vines like to climb trees, and sometimes they’ll even reach from one to another as they grow. The beautiful yellow flower blooms are sweetly scented, and they tend to bloom from March through May.

Coreopsis - These cheerful little yellow flowers look a bit like a daisy. Some varieties have petals which are primarily yellow, with a touch of dark orange in the center. Coreopsis are drought resistant perennials, which look wonderful in hanging baskets, flower beds, or wild flower gardens.

Nasturtium - This is an edible annual flower which blooms in bright yellow or orange. It can be grown as a small compact bush type of plant, or as a vine, and they prefer to grow in full sunlight. They don’t do well with heat however, preferring areas which have cool dry summers instead.

This is of course just a small sampling of the various kinds of flowers you can grow which bloom in shades of bright yellow or orange. If you prefer more formal looking flowers in your garden, you’ll be happy to know there are plenty of yellow roses and yellow tulips you can grow too. Alternatively if you’d like a wildflower or natural garden, there are also many different native plants which produce yellow and orange flower blooms too.

Who does not like yellow flowers? That color is not for everyone.
