Kerria japonica cultivation notes: Kerria makes a decent upright screening shrub, possibly as part of informal shrub planting. Ideally Kerria is planted towards the back of the border where it can do its yellowy business with its spring blossom only to be allowed to take a step back during the spring and summer, as this shrubs habit can be scruffy looking and the foliage is rather un-interesting.

Plant Strengths: Sun loving drought tolerant plant; All round tough plant suitable for problem areas; Ideal for fast growing screening; Tolerates cold exposed locations; Tolerates heavy clay soils.


Design & Plant Use for Kerria japonica:
  • Ideal flowering shrub for problem clay soils

Common Missspellings: Keria, Kerea, Kerrea, Ceria, Cerea, Kerria
