Japanese kerria is a cheerful deciduous shrub prized for its bright golden-yellow flowers that bloom in spring and sometimes rebloom in autumn. It thrives in partial shade, making it an excellent choice for brightening shaded borders or woodland edges. Prune stems back after flowering to keep the plant tidy and promote vigorous new growth.
