PICTA JAPANESE KERRIA

Kerria japonica 'Picta' is commonly referred to as Picta Japanese Kerria or Variegated Japanese Kerria. The Picta variety is a low-growing, broadly rounded, spreading shrub with a dense, twiggy habit. It features gray-green leaves that are irregularly variegated with white on the outer margins. Profuse, single, canary yellow flowers bloom from April through early May among the variegated foliage providing an outstanding look for the garden.

Picta Variegated Japanese Kerria thrives in part sun with dappled shade. It enjoys average, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It can be drought tolerant once established, but does appreciate occasional watering during dry months. It will need to be pruned after flowering to maintain its variegated appearance along with its health and vigor.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location with partial shade to full sun. While it is adaptable, providing protection from the harsh afternoon sun helps maintain the vibrancy of its bright yellow blooms and prevents foliage scorch, especially in warmer climates. Consistent moisture is essential during the first season of establishment to support vigorous root growth, and the plant will perform best in sites protected from strong, drying winds. Prune immediately after flowering is complete, as this shrub blooms on the previous year's wood. Removing older, spent canes helps manage its natural suckering habit and stimulates the growth of strong, new stems for the next season. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
