Family Oleaceae

Forsythia 'Marée d'Or' is a low, spreading ornamental shrub, particularly prized for its early spring flowering and its very structured ground-covering habit. It forms a dense and regular shrubby groundcover, ideal for slopes, wide borders, and mass plantings where it creates a spectacular effect from late winter onwards. Even before the foliage appears, its branches are covered with a profusion of bright golden yellow flowers, offering a true wave of light announcing the return of spring. Its deciduous, medium green foliage then provides neat groundcover throughout the summer. Very hardy and well adapted to Quebec conditions, Forsythia 'Marée d'Or' is easy to maintain, tolerant, and perfectly suited for sustainable landscaping projects requiring excellent soil coverage.
