This is one of the six Shrub-seeing Achievements related to bringing the plant to certain locations on the island. There are 5 for certain locations and a 6th for having brought your plant to all 5 locations in a single playthrough.
This specific achievement cannot be done immediately upon starting the game, and because of that, I recommend waiting and doing all of the plant locations at the same time, after you've opened the Northwest Island.
There are multiple ways to do this, but I recommend waiting, at the very least, until after you've done the "Who even needs keys" Achievement for getting an ice flower without opening the Mountain Gate. If you open the gate first it will void that achievement and you'll need a new playthrough to get it.
When you're ready to open the gate, go to the Eastern Island across the sandbar and head to the North, up a hill, to find a purple gem. Bring it to the gate to open it. If you need directions up the mountain, return across the sandbar and head Northwest from it to reach the Village. The path up the mountain from there is explained below.
With the gate open, grab your plant from your boat campsite and head North to reach the Village, Head East to find two bridges, one after another. Cross them and go North to start up an incline. Follow this West until you come to another bridge, but head North up an incline and follow the path East, hugging the Northern rock face, to reach another incline where the grass turns to snow. Follow this incline to reach the gate. Assuming you put the gem in, the gate is open, and you have a bunch of platforming to do. keep jumping up the platforms to get higher until you reach the top with a pink gate. Go to the Northeast of this and jump up a ledge, following it west and jumping across the gap to find the ice flowers and pop your achievement.
If you prefer to watch a video, start the video below at 1:48:58 to see where you need to bring the plant. This was recorded on my full playthrough after I had already gotten the "Who even needs keys" Achievement and opened the gate. I go up the Mountain immediately after bringing the plant to the Village to unlock that Shrub-seeing achievement for there.

Really good and comprehensive guide!
Just to add for anyone who might have messed up like I did; if you lose the shrub (I accidentally yeeted mine off of the mountain), it respawns by the painter (near your boat). It was just behind the easel.

This can be done at any time before or after you complete the game. Take your yellow plant to the top of the Northern Island on the Main Island (where the cauldron and frozen flowers are located) to unlock this trophy.
