Gold Tide Forsythia — 1999 Plant of Merit
This dwarf selection grows to only 20 inches tall but spreads to 4 feet wide. Light yellow flowers bloom in profusion in late winter to early spring before the foliage emerges, bringing the promise of spring to the often dreary March landscape. Oval green leaves are attractive throughout the growing season. Is at home in sunny locations in the shrub border, on slopes or trailing over a stone wall.
