PERENNIALS WITH YELLOW OR GOLD FOLIAGE
BLUE AND GOLD
During summer, rich blue, three-petalled flowers on erect, fleshy stems contrast well with this clump-forming perennial’s long, strap-shaped, gold-suffused leaves.
LEMON BALM
This bushy perennial produces a dense clump of lemon-scented, yellow-suffused stems and leaves. It is especially effective during spring and early summer.
GOLDEN VALERIAN
The prime attraction of this tall, branching perennial is its gold spring foliage, which gradually fades to green in summer. Its small white flowers open in late summer.

GOLDEN TANSY

PLANTAIN LILY
