| Yarrow |
Zones: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
|
|
|
|
|
This is a low-growing perennial with beautiful fernlike foliage. Flat-topped clusters of white flowers rise 6 inches to 21/2 feet above the foliage sporadically from late May to frost. These flowers are excellent cut, either fresh or dry. Because of its graceful and nearly evergreen foliage, Yarrow makes a good texture plant for the front of the perennial garden, and it is a staple in meadows. It requires full sun and tolerates drought well. Given fertile soil, Yarrow will spread rapidly. Keep it in check by annually spading out the wanderers. Cat# 1000

| Yellow Coral Honeysuckle |
Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
|
|
|
|

Honeysuckle is a woody vine that has long been popular for adorning mailboxes, lamp posts, fences, and trellises. The Yellow Coral Honeysuckle is the yellow form of the normally coral flowering species. Masses of flowers appear in clusters from spring into early summer then sporadically thereafter. The tangerine yellow flowers are 1 to 2 inches long, narrow, and tubular. Big red berries persist in fall and early winter. Yellow Coral Honeysuckle is best in full sun and average soil, but would also do well in light shade. This vine is sure to attract hummingbirds and your neighbor's attention. In flower, it is extremely showy. Don't confuse this with the aggressive and invasive Japanese Honeysuckle vine. Cat# 1141

| Yellow Coral Honeysuckle, John Clayton |

Differing from the typical salmon red coral honeysuckle, this is a yellow form found at an old church in Gloucester, Virginia and named after the 17th century botanist, John Clayton. It is a bit more compact growing 6 to 12' long, and after its primary bloom period in late spring, it reblooms periodically throughout the summer and fall ending with a good crop of bright red/orange berries. ;Semi-evergreen and softly fragrant, it would be nice growing over a porch railing or sprucing up a mail box. Give it full sun or light shade and average soil. Cat# 1502

| Yellow Honeysuckle |

|
|
|
Here's a rare native honeysuckle with late spring flowers that are a bright yellow/orange with a slight sweet fragrance. They occur crowded in pairs at the ends of the stems and are distinctly 2-lipped with petals flared and reflexed back - not tubular like Lonicera sempervirens. In late summer, it has clusters of bright red berries. The vines are not as robust as the other honeysuckles, and we have observed flowering only in the late spring. So give it a special place in part shade to full sun. Cat# 1520

| Yellowroot |
Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
|
|
|
|
|
Yellowroot is a cool little deciduous shrub that acts like a 2 foot high running ground cover as it colonizes over good or poor ground. Found in the wild along shady streamsides primarily in the central eastern states but ranging from Maine to Texas, Yellowroot has bright green fern or astilbe-like leaves that turn a nice yellow in the fall, and it is named for its bright yellow wood and roots. Stems are unbranched and grow a few inches taller each year. The early spring flowers are small, curious, and dark purple. This plant is easy to grow in good soil and part shade, but will also grow in dry shade as well as moist sun. Consider it as an underplanting for taller shrubs or trees, to fill in shady spots, or even as a woody ground cover in moist, sunny places, and give it room to spread. Under good conditions, the planting will become very dense. As the planting matures, you can mow down the older parts to reinvigorate them. Cat# 1495

| Yellowwood |
Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Yellowwood is a very attractive medium to large tree for a prime spot in the landscape. It gets 30-45 feet tall and wide, has smooth gray bark, and has the most beautiful, fragrant clusters of creamy white, wisteria-like flowers in the spring. Flowering can be so abundant that the fallen flowers look like snow on the ground. Yellowwood likes alkaline soil that is well drained and of average fertility. It wants full sun. A tree in flower is absolutely breathtaking. Cat# 1530
