Back for the 2026 season.

It's officially spring when the Forsythia blooms! Gold Tide is a dwarf, spreading Forsythia twice as wide as tall with a profusion of light yellow flowers on bare branches in April. Dense, dark green, trouble-free leaves may acquire burgundy and yellow tones in fall. Creates a stunning floral display when planted in groups. They can even provide cut flowers! Also makes a nice low, natural hedge. Deer don't care for it.

Mature Spread: 11 - 15'

Water Needs: Moderate
