yellow perennials/shrubs
I am going to add some yellow into our landscaping this year to brighten it up a bit. We currently have pinks/purples/whites and greens of course. I'm wondering what some of your favorite yellow perennials/flowering shrubs are? I am zone 4. Thanks for your expertise!
Some of the plants we have now are:
Wine & Roses (Weigela)
Chardonnnay Pearls (Weigela)
Quick Fire Hydrangea
Hostas
Crimson Barberry
Roses - (pink, white)
Tulips (pink)
Rhododendrun (purple)
Peony (pink, white)
Purple Leaf Sandcherry
Salvia
Various evergreen shrubs
Re: yellow perennials/shrubs
I'm in WI also. We grow coreopsis, galliardum, black-eyed susans, phlox and I used to have some yellow hollyhocks.
Also, perennial bulbs/rhizomes: daffodils, crocus, irises.

Happy Returns Daylillies. They bloom all summer long.
For shade, Golddust aucuba (check the zone, though).
There is a yellow euonymous, as well. Can't think of the name.
Another Wisconsite here. And I'm also new to gardening.
If you have space for a bush we have 3 forsythia bushes that bloom in early spring. Our property is a testimate to how easy there are to grow (the previous owners neglected all of the plants for 10 years). The only downside is that they don't bloom for very long.
I have some woodland poppies on order. They are a nice little shade plant (it's hard to find yellow flowers for the shade) but again they only bloom in the spring.
I'd say daylillies and/or black eyed susans are you best bet for longer bloom times.
FYI, we have some yellow irises but they are a disapointment because they are very, very pale. Not sure if it's because they are a certain type or not (we didn't plant them) but they are almost transparent.
Shrubs: Kerria, Forsythia, Potentilla, Berberis, Kolkwitzia, Genista, Lonicera, Roses, Hamamelis, Caragana, Rhus, Diervilla, Hypericum
Perennials: Corydalis, Baptisia, Gaillardia, Achillea, Coreopsis, Asclepias, Oenothera, Sedum, Barbarea, Lysimachia
Bulbs: Iris, Crocus, Daffodil, Tulip
Trees: Laburnum, Cornus mas.
