Forsythia 'Magical Gold'
FamilyOleaceae
Forsythia ‘Magical Gold’ is a modern, compact ornamental shrub, prized for its abundant spring blooms and well-controlled growth habit. It forms a dense, rounded, slightly spreading silhouette, ideal for borders, low hedges, and structured landscaping in small to medium-sized spaces. In early spring, its branches are completely covered with brilliant golden yellow flowers, offering a luminous display even before the foliage appears. Its medium green deciduous foliage then provides a neat presence throughout the summer. Selected for its hardiness and floriferousness, ‘Magical Gold’ is very robust and perfectly adapted to Québec conditions. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, it is an excellent choice for adding color, structure, and reliability to the garden.
