Forsythia Fiesta

Forsythia Fiesta Details

Forsythia Fiesta is grown for its spring flowering and colourful foliage. During spring and before the leaves emerge, bright yellow flowers bathe the plant and make it very eye-catching. The leaves emerge soon after and are variegated dark green and yellow and held on red stems. The foliage develops further yellowing in autumn and falling. It typically grows to 1 m tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this plant are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and periods of dry. Forsythia Fiesta is commonly added to a mixed planting, grown in a container, included in cottage gardens, or used to provide simple contrasts with other plants. A mass planting will give a very rewarding show.
