Botanical name: Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' Family: Rosaceae (Rose family)
Kerria is a suckering shrub with graceful, arching, cane-like stems that is
found in the mountains of Japan and south western China.
Kerria is a genus of one species. Its leaves are alternate, simple and bright
green and its flowers are solitary, yellow and saucer- or cup-shaped. This
cultivar has double blooms. Kerrias are grown for their foliage and flowers
and are suitable either for a shrub border or for an open part of a woodland
garden.
This genus was named for William Kerr, a gardener and plant collector at Kew,
who collected in China, Java and the Philippines.
