A deciduous garden shrub from East Asia with arching green stems and bright yellow flowers in spring.
Kerria is a single species grown for its cheerful golden blooms, which look something like small roses or buttercups, and for stems that stay green through winter. It spreads by suckers and thrives in light shade where many other flowering shrubs sulk. The plant is named after William Kerr, a gardener who collected plants in China for Kew and sent it to Britain in the early nineteenth century.
