Description
Forsythia x intermedia Variegata is a beautiful variegated leaf form of the Paris Mimosa. This bush has golden yellow flowers that announce the arrival of spring in a dazzling way, along with green, yellow and cream mixed foliage that remains decorative until early autumn. A robust plant with fairly rapid growth and low demands, it forms a large, bright shrub works well in a flowering hedge. Wonderful in the garden, its blooms will also be very pretty in vases in winter or spring bouquets.
Forsythia x intermedia Variegata is a deciduous bush belonging to the Oleaceae family. It descends from a spontaneous hybrid resulting from two species native to China, the Forsythia suspensa and the F. viridissima. It will reach about 2m (6 ft 7 in) in height with a 1.50m (4 ft 11 in) spread, showing an open, slightly spreading habit. Like other forsythias, it provides a true spring spectacle in March-April, before the appearance of its foliage. One-year-old and older branches are adorned with numerous golden yellow flowers in clusters. Each flower has 4 petals and stamens of a warm and bright yellow around a small red throat. Flowering is followed by the emergence of foliage. The leaves of this variety are randomly variegated with shades of green, light yellow, and cream from spring to the end of summer, before turning more or less yellow, orange, and purple in autumn. They are long, pointed leaves measuring 8 to 10cm (3.1 to 3.9 in) in length, with dentate edges.
This Variegated Forsythia is perfectly hardy, undemanding, and very easy to maintain. It grows in any type of sufficiently deep soil and in most climates. This particularly ornamental variety finds its place in gardens of all sizes. It can be planted in a large shrub bed or in a flowering hedge, alongside Japanese quinces, variegated Japanese corête, Cotinus (Cotinus coggygria Lilla), as well as with mahonias, lilacs, mock oranges, purple barberries, and many others. In early December, cut a branch or two and put them in a vase, they will bloom for Christmas.

Planting and care
Variegated Forsythia intermedia enjoys a sunny position, but tolerates partial shade (especially in hotter, sunnier regions). Place it in any ordinary soil, even clay or limestone soil, with sufficient depth and drainage, and enrich with compost at planting. After flowering, there is the option to remove half or two-thirds of the height of the flowering branches to rejuvenate the bush and ensure quality flowering for following spring. For the first three years, a simple removal of dead, weak or misplaced stems will suffice.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
