Show Off® Sugar Baby® Forsythia

(Forsythia) Few things say spring quite like branches packed with brilliant yellow flowers. Show Off® Sugar Baby® Forsythia brings that classic burst of color in a much smaller package. Bright blossoms cover the stems from base to tip in early spring, creating an impressive display before the green foliage fills in.

This compact Forsythia reaches just 18-30 inches tall and wide, making it easy to fit into smaller landscapes. Its dense, rounded habit works beautifully along walkways, at the front of borders, or planted in groups for a larger sweep of spring color. It also fits nicely into established beds where a traditional Forsythia would quickly become too large.

 Hardy in zones 5-8, Show Off® Sugar Baby® Forsythia grows best in full sun to part sun. More sunlight encourages the strongest flowering. It is also deer resistant, making it a useful option for landscapes where browsing is a concern.

 Show Off® Sugar Baby® blooms on old wood, so avoid pruning before its spring flowers appear. If shaping is needed, trim immediately after flowering so the shrub has plenty of time to develop next year's flower buds.

 Its naturally compact growth means you can enjoy the cheerful spring color Forsythia is known for without giving up a huge section of the garden. Small shrub, seriously big spring show. Show Off® Sugar Baby® is a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.
