Large and plentiful, the beautiful deep golden-yellow flowers of this 6-8' triploid forsythia can be almost 2" long! The bright blooms in very early spring are the perfect cure for the winter blues. We highly recommend this shrub for cottage and wildlife gardens with its vigorous growth and long canes. This wonderful cultivar was developed at The Arnold Arboretum. S/M
