If it is yellow you are after then you cant go far wrong with Kerria. Whether in full sun or part shade and on a variety of soils Kerria delivers an early splash of blossom, but then looks rather mundane for the remainder of the year. 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: 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 If you've enjoyed the FindMePlants website, why don't you help make it better and buy the FMP boys a cuppa?
