Product description
āPlenifloraā is a versatile blooming, deciduous shrub. Its foliage is composed of light green leaves with veins and jagged edges in a lanceolate shape, with a length of approximately 10 cm. The wonderful blooms are a vibrant golden orange in a double-flower form that erupt throughout the plant.
Tolerates most soil types as long as they are well-drained. It does well in sun to partial sun, as long as it can maintain proper levels of moisture.
As it can be very attractive with its multitudes of blooms, this variety does well for woodland gardens and for more rustic settings like a wild garden or natural growth area near or around a cottage.
Few if any problems will be encountered with this plant, although it can suffer a couple different blights, it is generally pest free. Propagates via suckers and this requires sufficient control in order to prevent the plant from becoming unnecessarily dense and unruly.
Pruning is suggested immediately after flowering in order to help control plant growth and prepare the plant for the following seasons blooming.
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.

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.
