Forsythia ‘Fiesta’

 

Finally! A forsythia that won’t fade into the background after its cheery yellow flowers herald the arrival of spring. ‘Fiesta’ has intriguing foliage variegated with cream, gold and dark green which are held by red stems. Compact growth and a nice mounding habit. And did you know that forsythia comes from the Olive Family? I didn’t know either! Makes it seem more exotic, doesn’t it?
