Yellow flowers are often treated a little unfairly in the garden. Just look at a stand of golden dahlias catching the evening sun, or a drift of lemon cosmos buzzing with pollinators, and I think anyone would be hard-pressed to dislike the color. Over the years, I’ve changed my mind on yellow, and these days I find myself reaching for it more and more.
The canary creeper, or Tropaeolum peregrinum, is the ultimate example of this. With flamboyant and frilly blooms, I know that this vibrant vine will inject joy wherever it is planted. Even the most staunch anti-yellow gardener would have to admit, this climber is impressive.
