Forsythia 'Kolgold' Shrub

Welcome the first colors of spring with the Forsythia 'Kolgold', a deciduous shrub that bursts into a cascade of brilliant golden-yellow flowers before its leaves emerge. This early-blooming beauty is a cheerful harbinger of the new season, brightening landscapes and garden borders with its profusion of star-shaped blooms.

After flowering, Kolgold develops attractive green foliage that provides a lush backdrop throughout summer, followed by warm yellow fall color. Its upright yet arching form makes it a versatile landscape choice, suitable as a specimen plant, informal hedge, or seasonal focal point.
