Product Details

This stunning variety was found as a branch sport in the garden of the late John Mitchell, who, after being diagnosed with dementia, sadly died in 2013 aged 62.

Having served in the merchant navy, John’s love was the sea with one of his last ships being RV 'Discovery’ – an apt name for this Forsythia variation. This uniquely striking plant is sure to be a talking point wherever it is situated.

A deciduous shrub. This unique form has attractive white margined green ovate leaves which contrast against the deep red stems. In late February into March, the bare stems are smothered in beautiful, lightly scented pale yellow flowers.

Soil Type	Moist, but well-drained soil
