Double Flowering Kerria, Japanese Kerria




            Mike's Opinion

"

An Asian species that has been found in our gardens for quite some time. It produces long green foliage that is refreshing in the garden and forms a clump over time. It requires shade and prefers moist soils although it will tolerate dry soils once it is established.
