Description
Japanese kerria (Kerria japonica) is an underused, early flowering, deciduous shrub that thrives in full to part-shade landscapes. It is somewhat unique among flowering shrubs that kerria blooms profusely in partial shade. The flowers are bright golden yellow with five petals – very similar to an old-fashioned rose. It has a bloom time that begins in late March to mid-April in Upstate South Carolina, and flowering lasts for a couple of weeks. Although another common name is Japanese yellow rose, most people recognize this shrub by its genus name, Kerria.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
