Forsythia - Show Off™ Forsythia

Interested in seeing a stellar fireworks show before the 4th of July? This little beauty will be a blast of early spring color from the ground up! Show Off™ is not your typical Forsythia! This variety is a vast improvement over all. It has intense yellow flowers, dark green foliage, with a round and compact form, so there is no need to prune. Older varieties can become out of control and often become victims of pruning. Now you can have your hedge - tight and compact the way you want it without doing any work. Show off your colors with Show Off™, an abundant of large golden-yellow showy flowers. It will just put a smile on your face.
