Autumn Golds

Lots of plants offer golden blooms or leaves in autumn, and they can make any garden glow. Here are eight of our favorites.

Senna
Ralph Anderson

Senna

Along the coasts of the Deep South, this large shrub explodes with bright yellow flowers in late fall. This showstopper’s blooms will help you meet your neighbors. It grows around 10 feet tall and wide on the coast. It’s not too particular about soil but prefers a sunny location. In the Coastal South and Tropical South it’s an evergreen shrub. In the Lower South it dies back to the ground after a hard frost but returns the next season to bloom fine. Just cut the stems back to the ground after a hard frost.
