Noted for its green winter stems and yellow spring flowers, Kerria japonica ‘Pleniflora’ (Japanese Kerria) is a vigorous suckering deciduous shrub of great beauty. In spring, it gets covered with bright yellow, pom-pom-like flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm). Borne on slender, arching stems, the blossoms resemble small roses. The foliage of prominently veined, narrow, light green leaves unfolds in the spring. It turns yellow in the fall before falling to the ground, revealing attractive, bright green winter stems. Highly popular, Kerria japonica ‘Pleniflora’ is a tough but graceful flowering shrub that is pleasant in every season.
