McGlory, Michael Dirr's Manual describes Forsythia viridissima var. koreana as: "Variety koreana Rehd. grows to 8' high, with larger leaves, pale yellow flowers, and often good maroonish fall color". There are several cultivars with variegated foliage - 'Kumson' being one of the more spectacular ones grown primarily for its striking foliage. Although we don't have one planted in our landscape yet, it's quite vigorous in a pot so we usually prune it back to promote new growth with the bright variegation and haven't seen much for flowers yet.

Picture of the foliage below - although it's a bit fuzzy, it shows the unique foliage.
