Yellow and green is obviously an almost unbeatable combination in the garden. Perhaps this is also because in our country we see those colors in almost every lawn and consider it natural. Below you will find some examples of plants with yellow flowers that also fit into your garden.

Yellow hollyhocks

Hollyhocks come in many colors including soft yellow. Most Dutch people know hollyhocks from Southern vacation countries where they grow against white houses and bloom abundantly. In our gardens they also need the shelter of, for example, a wall or ornamental shrubs. After 2 years it is best to replace hollyhocks as they are then susceptible to rust fungus

The original origin of the hollyhock is not known. Botanists think of Siberia or China. In Europe they were introduced to Spain by the Moors.
