Yellow Flowering Vines
Below you will find a list of Vines from our plant database that are yellow flowering. If you click on any of the photos, you will see a Virtual Plant Tag that may contain plant descriptions, usage suggestions and a link to where you can buy that plant for your landscaping.
The vines can be grown on trellises, fences and pergolas, around patios and decks, under trees, and directly on walls. Most of these vines grow well with average soil moisture and partial shade, though some can take full shade or full sun giving the home gardener more options for use in the landscape.
Some of the vines with yellow flowers are native plants which offen confers natural disease and insect resistance and salt tolerance. Three lovely native vines with yellow flowers are the yellow form of Hummingbird Vine, Campsis radicans 'Flava', the Swamp Jessamine, Gelsemium rankinii and Carolina Yellow Jessamine, Gelsemium sempervirens. The Carolina and Swamp Jessamines are dramatic in the garden because they bloom strongly in late fall, late winter, peaking in early Spring. These highly adaptable plants, with their lovely more delicate textures, can be grown in containers, over mailboxes, growing up downspouts and over and along fences as a groundcover.
Yellow is not a color often thought of for Clematis, but two graceful species add their large, rich yellow or golden flowers during the summer. The Golden Clematis, also known at the Orange Peel Clematis and Clematis tangutica display their lantern-shaped flowers in June and July followed by the Oriental Clematis, Clematis orientalis, blooming in August and September.
If yellow is your color, it is easy to see how planting a variety of yellow vines can extend the bloom time throughout all the seasons. Yellow, as a warm color, blends nicely with other yellow, gold, orange, peach, red and even green flowers and looks especially lovely with plants like Hostas that have variegated foliage containing yellow also.
Designing and implementing a color scheme in the outdoor living space can be done similarly to how you do interior colors. Start with what color or colors you like and educate yourself with tools like the Virtual Plant Tags advanced search option to find other plants that will work with the sun, shade, wet, moderate or dry conditions your garden has. Add bloom times and think about a variety of textures that compliment each other and you can create a feast for your eyes while also making your 'outdoor room' enjoyable longer each year. If you are a bird or wildlife lover, paying special attention to these other attributes will add interest for them as well.
