kerria japonica flore pleno.
Cut old stems to the ground after flowering ( you'll see young shoots coming up)
Thanks for quick response. I found it in a park.
If you want one, it can become a bit of a thud due to suckering. Keep on top of it and it's fine .
I've got one but it's very 'floppy'. It adds a lovely splash of colour in spring but I tolerate it only because it's planted behind bushy shrubs which hold it upright quite neatly. I wouldn't plant one as 'stand-alone', I like my garden tidy !
There are a few shrubs around that I really don't like and that's one of them
In the sticks near Peterborough
Forsythia is worse. Garish blossom for a few weeks and boring leaves the rest of the year.
And there's that fuzzy pink thing that I refuse to remember the name of.
And ceanothus is just plain creepy.
