Product description
Kerria Golden Guinea is a deciduous shrub with leaves that produce a unique edge at the peak of the leaves' ends. This stylized look and dark green colour ensures that the colour provided by the flowers in Spring are all-the-more eye catching. The plant will bloom with yellow at the forefront, making those warmer months of Spring and Summer entail bright and vibrance throughout. Kerria should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in full sun at the best of times. Watering should be done so that the plant is never overwatered. One inch of water a week in its growing season will suffice and ensure it flourishes well.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune Kerria after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. This keeps the plant vibrant and ensures better blooms next season.
How to Water
Water Kerria regularly during its first growing season to establish roots. Once established, it is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry periods to keep the foliage lush.
How to Plant
Plant Kerria in well-drained soil with partial to full shade. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, position the plant, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting. Space multiple plants 90-150cm apart for proper air circulation.
