always looked scrappy & never gave much in the way of flowers. I attributed
it to not enough winter cold & ditched it in the end. Do you grow the Sedum
' Autumn Joy' .? That would be a good indicator - much the same happened for
me with that. If you get good results with it the Kerria could work well
with you.
