Forsythia viridissima var. koreana ‘Kumson’

From Korea, a new forsythia on the scene, growing to about 4-6 ft with an upright vase-shaped habit and providing creamy yellow flowers in January, for us, in February and March in colder climates. The leaves present the most unique feature, patterned and veined with cream and white, the patterns becoming infused with pink and maroon as the late fall color settles in, for year round-interest rather than the one-shot show that Forsythias usually provide. Plant as with other Forsythias in sun to dappled shade and provide summer water in dry climes. Frost hardy to USDA zone 6.
