Need advice for front flower beds.. perennials?

BabyCakes3

We are going to list our house soon. I hear yellow is good for flower beds. We've got good bushes & monkey grass. Just need some color.

What are good yellow perennials? (TN area)

Should we mix it with lots of other colors? Just 1-2 other colors?

Should the other colors be different flowers all together?

We looked tonight & I really only saw daylillies that were perennials

Why not just do some annuals while you list? Marigolds are a good choice.

I just have a big mix of colors.  I have some yellow bearded iris and its blooming right now, yellow dahlias and gladiolas which will bloom later in summer. 

There are yellow rose bushes

 

I probably wouldnt bother spending $ on my garden if I was about to sell

 

I would put together some pretty flower pots with annuals and thats probably it.

Lantana gets BIG and gives a lot of bang for the buck. If you're zone 8 or higher it will be perennial (and maybe even in zone 7).

I have to say I agree with PP, I wouldn't really invest in perennials if you are moving. I also live in TN. The fron of my house gets morning sun. I planted double yellow begonias this year. They are FANTASTIC!  I have actually had people come to my house to ask what they are b/c they are so pretty!

Note, they also come in a bright orange and red.

I would do lantana too... if fact that's what I have under my front hedge row.  Lantana likes full sun. Begonias would give you good color too.

I would walk around the garden center and sees what will work. I finally changed up my flower boxes this year because 1/2 the front is full sun and 1/2 is part-sun. Lantana did the best in the front hedge row but my boxes have some petunias and some random other flowers that are better for part-shade and so far they look much better this year than past years.

Another vote for Lantana. It's wonderful and needs very little attention. Ditto the others about adding annuals if you are going to list your house. You might consider adding Zinnia and Marigolds to add more color with the Lantana.

some of my yellow perennials are: sunspot potentilla (more of a small shrub), zagreb coreopsis, moonshine & sunny seduction yarrow and happy returns daylillies. Additional colors in the garden are blues and purples.

I'm doing dahlias. If I were you, I'd also do some reds and oranges, which dahlias also come in.

I have two varieties of coreopsis and the first one bloomed today.
