Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' | Double Japanese Kerria

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' produces bright golden-yellow pompon flowers in mid to late spring, each bloom formed with many layered petals that create a rounded, rosette-like shape along the slender stems. The blossoms appear among fresh green leaves that unfold in spring with lightly serrated edges and a soft texture. Arching green stems remain visible through winter, adding subtle color and structure after the foliage falls.

This cultivar traces its heritage to Kerria japonica native to China and Japan. In gardens it brings seasonal interest to borders, woodland plantings, and informal hedges where the cheerful spring flowers and green winter stems provide changing color.
