Floppy picta, floppy disk, I was going somewhere with this but the thought has left me. Use your imagination if you come up with something creative I'll put it in next years catalog.

Not your grandmother's Kerria. This dwarf form, from Siskiyou Rare Plants, has green leaves edged and splashed white and single, bright yellow flowers in spring on a very restrained, deciduous shrub - to only 2-3' tall and wide. Tough and dependable in full sun to half shade with summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4.
