Golden Times Forsythia is an upright spreading deciduous shrubs with stunning yellow-gold and green variegated foliage that holds even in fall. 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.
