What is this beautiful plant in my garden?

I’m wondering if anyone can help me find out what this plant is? It has beautiful yellow flowers that start to bloom in March and last well into summer usually. Bamboo type stalks. I think I’d like another one somewhere else in the garden. Grows to a good height too. Thank you in advance.

Is it forsythia?

Following! I’ve got the same plant and was only thinking yesterday to upload a photo here. I like it a lot but it is invasive.

Kerria Japonica? (Bachelors buttons)

Its Kerria

I had a lovely one and dh cut it down... grrrr

yes it's Kerria and it is a right invasive bugger so your wish for another one will be granted!

Thank you!

I've got this too (I think) and also want to know!

Mine isn't as glorious as yours and just grows in the hedge. It has serrated leaves, sort of like elongated nettle leaves.

Hmm, Kerria Japonica (Pleniflora) is an excellent guess. Looks very likely to be what I have.

Thank you everyone. I googled it and it looks like Kerria. Yes I can tell it’s invasive (need to cut some of it back as it’s grown through another plant). I’m wondering if it’ll grow under some large conifers as I’d be quite happy for it to grow there as other plants won’t and it’s looking bare under their canopies...Smile

Thank you all for your replies. Glad the thread has helped others too.

Popsicle, under confers is dry and shady. Kerria might not die if you planted it there, but would look scruffy and probably not flower....
