Plants With Purple Leaves & a Yellow Flower

Using diversely colored plants helps to attract attention to a garden or landscape. Typically, plants have foliage in shades of green, but many species of plants grow foliage in other hues, including purple. Selecting flowering plants with yellow blossoms adds an illusion of a warm, bright feeling to the garden or landscape. Several varieties of plants develop purple leaves and yellow blooms.

  1. Trout Lily

    • Trout lily (Erythronium americanum) is an herbaceous flowering plant that develops from corms. This native eastern Canadian plant is a true lily, as it belongs to the Liliaceae plant family. Trout lilies derive their name from the mottled appearance of foliage that resembles a brook trout. Its fleshy green leaves have numerous spots and splashes of purple. During early spring, trout lilies bloom with a singular yellow blossom comprised of three petals and three sepals. Trout lilies thrive in moist, fertile wooded areas and meadows.

Beginning in May, small yellow flowers develop on the chameleon spurge with showy purple bracts and stems. The oblong leaves of the chameleon spurge are a dusky purple hue that changes to burgundy-purple with age. During the fall, the foliage takes on a red tint. Chameleon spurge enjoys full sun to partial shade and moderate, well-draining soil with dry to medium moisture.
