A charming, compact deciduous shrub, Forsythia × intermedia ‘Flojor’ (marketed as ‘Mini Gold’) features early spring—often golden—flowering that brightens the garden when little else is in bloom. Its spreading, mounded habit remains small and tidy, reaching only about 40–60 cm in height and similar in width. After bloom, its variegated green leaves—each with a golden central band—lend multi‑season interest, retaining their pattern through summer. This hardy, low‑maintenance plant performs best in full sun (though tolerating partial shade), and thrives in USDA Zones 5–8, making it ideal for small borders, groundcover-style uses, or cottage gardens.
