Forsythia x intermedia 'Minfor6'
Choose Show Off® Starlet Forsythia if you want early spring yellow in a tight bed without the big, rangy habit of older forsythia; the tradeoff is that it is a spring-first shrub, not a privacy plant.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The spring bloom is strong for its size, but the show is concentrated early in the season. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It establishes and fills in quickly enough for a small border without becoming as large as older forsythia types. |
| Maintenance | B | Prune right after flowering if shaping is needed, because late pruning can remove next spring’s buds. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its compact habit makes it much easier to place near walks, entries, and smaller foundation beds. |
| Screening Value | D | It is too small and seasonal to count on for blocking views or creating privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for homeowners who like forsythia but do not want to fight a large shrub every year; give it sun and prune only after bloom.

Yes, as long as it gets enough sun and is not pruned before spring bloom.
Yes, especially where a full-size forsythia would outgrow the bed.
It has good deer resistance, though no plant is completely ignored in every situation.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
