Coating masses of bright yellow flowers bloom on lightly arching branches in early spring before its leaves are out. Flowers best in full sun and well-drained soils. Moderately drought tolerant once established. Golden Times is the showiest variegated forsythia, with its yellow margins that can be so intense it looks still in bloom from a distance.
