Description

Kerria Japonica 'Golden Guinea' or Japanese Kerria is a flowering shrub.  From April to May, numerous flowers 5 to 6 cm (2 to 2.4 in) in diameter appear. These flowers, single and solitary, are golden yellow in colour.  Kerria Japonica has a bushy and erect habit with green, arched stems.

Japanese Kerria has deciduous, ovate and finely dentate foliage. These bright green leaves measure 6 to 10 cm (2.4 to 3.9 in) in length and are pointed at the ends. Kerria reaches a height of 2 m (6 ft 7 in) for a width of 2m 50cm (8 ft 2 in).

It is a beautiful decorative bush with its light foliage and spring flowers.  This shrub, native to China and Japan, is particularly floriferous and hardy. It is used in flower beds as well as informal hedges or as a specimen plant.  It can decorate patios and also forms a beautiful trellis along medium-height walls.

Planting and care

Kerria Japonica 'Golden Guinea' is planted from November to February when it is frost-free for flowers from April to May.  Place it in full sun or partial shade in rich and well-drained soil. Dig a hole 60 cm (23.6 in) wide and deep and plant it. Then cover with soil and lightly compact the soil. Water lightly.  Kerria Japonica is an easy plant. It is important to thin out the branches after flowering to avoid a too bushy appearance. Prune back after flowering and remove the old wood to promote the following year's flowering so that the shrub doesn't only flower at the ends of the branches.
