Looking for dwarf heavy blooming Forsythia and these seem to fit the bill but are they hardy? I've also seen some conflicting info of width on the Starlet, some say ", other places state ". Forsythia is one of the hardiest shrubs around - absolutely no worries for a PNW zone 7. Keep your pruning shears away and any forsythia will bloom heavily - these are no exceptions.
Expect to grow to the upper end size-wise and then some. Everything seems to grow at least slightly larger than typical in our climate Todays sugar baby pic.
Forsythia Gold Tide: sucker to cut off? Show off your tomato "jungle"! I would be interested in this information too. I was looking at the Sugar Baby, and it looks cute. At that size, if for real, it could be tucked in anywhere. Here you go, I found an older thread about the same thing. This answers the question.
Yes, they are great, go for it. Also lists some other small ones. Here is a link that might be useful: Older thread about same topic. I would like to hear from anyone who has grown Forsythia 'Show Off'--not the other two--for at least three years. I'd like accurate info on how big it gets.
I have combed the internet for non-biased info and can't find any--it's all from commercial nurseries or from a couple of sites that are just guessing. I've been down that road before. So if anyone has had Show Off for at least three years, can you give a report on height and width?
