Zone 4 Vigorous grower in sun or shade with yellow flowers. It has evergreen, variegated leaves. Use only where there is abundant space where it can spread. This dwarf forsythia forms a moundlike appearance. It rapidly grows twice as broad as it does high, because the long stems quickly root where they touch moist soil.
Flowers are scarce.
Use in shade or sun, on banks or flat surfaces, for a ground cover requiring little attention. Plant in full sun or shade. It is ideal for edging acid-loving plantings such as rhododendrons and azaleas. The leaves are an inch long, dark and shiny above, pale beneath. The flowers are white, clustered like spirea.
