Options for creating yellow flower beds
Perennial flowers in one tone are the most original and modern solution for a garden and a summer cottage, especially if this color is yellow. Before proceeding with the creation of such a monoclumba, it is necessary to determine the size and shape of the composition, since the number and location of plants depends on this. If you are going to break up a perennial mixborder in the country, then yellow perennials of 3-5 varieties, differing in the tone of the inflorescences: lemon, orange, bright with a contrasting middle, will look most successful. It is very important to plant flowers of different shades and heights - in this case, the composition will not merge.
For a mixborder, you should choose one tall perennial, 2-3 medium-sized plants, and low-growing perennials for the foreground. When creating a spring flower bed, the center of the composition can be occupied by yellow tulips or forsythia (yellow perennial ornamental shrub), along the very edge of primrose or crocuses, daffodils between them.
For a summer flower bed, you can use the following yellow flowers: rudbeckia, chamomile, helenium, perennial sunflower, yellow sedum as a background, cinquefoil. Do not forget about decorative deciduous and evergreen crops - greens well set off the yellow color. On a flowerbed of the correct shape, tulips look great against a background of crocuses, or irises against a background of stonecrops, since these pairs are contrasting in height. When forming a flower bed of 5 or more species, the flowers are planted so that the tall ones are in the center (depth) of the composition, and the stunted perennials are along the edge.
The center of a regular (correct) flower bed can be occupied by such perennials as elecampane, the same rudbeckia, along the edge you can plant low-growing perennials: adonis, sedum, between them - chamomile. Perennial daisies in temperate climates are most often planted in the country. And this is no accident - garden daisies are unpretentious, diverse, bloom for a long time and are capable of self-seeding.
