Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' is a vigorous, deciduous spring flowering shrub, perfect for brightening a dark corner or north-facing wall. It will grow almost anywhere and soon develops into a thicket of tall, graceful stems with suckers growing from the creeping roots. Double, yellow flowers burst out from mid- to late spring which are beautifully surrounded by bright green, oval leaves. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Grow Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' in moist but well-drained soil in sun to partial shade. It's best kept out of direct sunlight to avoid bleaching the flowers. Thin out old shoots after flowering and propagate by softwood cuttings in summer or by division in autumn.
