Shrubs with golden yellow leaves
Shop our range of shrubs with golden yellow leaves, making the ideal foliage plants to add a bright splash of colour to your garden or container displays. Yellows and golds provide a gentle contrast to the mainstay of greens in shrub and mixed borders, providing a subtle variation without ‘popping’ as much as reds and oranges. Many yellow leaved plants have ‘Aurea’ or ‘Aureum’ in their names, which is Latin for ‘golden’. One of the nation’s favourite golden yellow foliaged shrub is Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’, also known as Mexican Orange, which is a lovely evergreen with citrus scented white flowers in late winter to early spring, reaching a manageable 2-2.5 metres in height. Alternatively, plants with golden foliage that will tolerate shade, such as Aucuba, are perfect for brightening up and bringing life to dark corners of the garden, while prickly varieties such as Berberis Golden Rocket have the added benefit of deterring intruders from entering your garden.
