Yellow loosestrife thrives in
partial sun and moist soil. The
3-foot-tall perennial can become
invasive so plant it in an area
where it can be controlled.

Harness the Power of Yellow

• Yellow increases a sense of space. A narrow side yard or dim courtyard takes on a bright new look when it features plantings with a yellow theme.
• Yellow appears fresh and radiant on the hottest days. Use yellow flowers and leaves in window boxes and baskets to create a warm, cheerful look.
• Pale yellows illuminate night gardens. Welcome the moonshine potential of such flowers as 'Moonbeam' coreopsis, evening primrose, brugmansia, santolina, 'Anthea' or 'Moonshine' yarrow, and 'Lady Banks' rose.
• Fill in with green-yellow variegated foliage to showcase neighboring flowers of purple, bright pink, or red.
