Notes
'Fiesta' border forsythia (Forsythia 'Fiesta') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It blooms in early to late spring and draws bees and birds. Deer rarely make it their first choice. You can plant several in a row to form a loose hedge.
Pairs well with Green Velvet buxus, Japanese forest grass, Star Gazer lily, and Foxglove.
