FORSYTHIA x intermedia 'Ford Freeway' |
||||
|
Description: This variegated forsythia was discovered as a sport by Al Wojcik in 1994 in the highway median of I-9 in Detroit. It is a good grower, distinguishing itself from some other variegated ones we’ve tried. The variegation has been stable for us, meaning it hasn’t reverted to green, although the intensity of the creamy streaks and splashes is more noticeable on actively growing shoots than on the older leaves. The effect is subtle, not contrasty, but definitely noticeable. A good new addition to your variegated plant collection. Zones 5–8. | ||||
