Enjoy season-long color with Golden Times Forsythia, a striking variegated forsythia variety. Unlike traditional forsythias that bloom mainly in spring, Golden Times offers year-round landscape appeal with vibrant green leaves boldly splashed with golden-yellow variegation.

In early spring, bright yellow flowers cover the branches, announcing the season with a spectacular floral display. After flowering, the colorful foliage provides months of brilliant contrast and visual interest throughout the landscape.

Its rounded growth habit and colorful foliage make Golden Times an excellent choice for specimen plantings, mixed borders, foundation beds, cottage gardens, and colorful hedges. Whether planted alone or combined with other shrubs, this unique forsythia delivers beauty long after the spring blooms have faded.

These healthy plants are shipped established in 1 gallon nursery pots and are ready to thrive in your landscape.
