    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A very short groundcover Forsythia that we acquired years ago under this unregistered name and have never been able to locate any information other than our own experience. It's the smallest of the small! Bright yellow flowers in Spring. We have this planted in a fairly dry spot and it never gets any supplemental water.
