Plant Description
Lynwood Gold Forsythia is an eye-catching addition to any garden, most especially through the early spring.
After a warm winter, Forsythia will occasionally bloom as early as late January, but it begins its typical display in late March.
The long slender stems produce clusters of deep, 4, or 5 lobed flowers that are a bright and cheerful yellow along their length. Flowers typically grow only along old growth stems.
The leaves of this bush emerge well after the flowers and are typically 3-10 centimeters (approximately 1-4 inches) in length with either serrated or smooth edges.
While height and width of Forsythia are mostly determined by pruning technique and timing, this versatile and hardy shrub can reach heights and widths of 6-9 meters (approximately 9-12 feet).
Branches tend to grow upright, with some varieties showing more flexibility and tending to droop, especially when it reaches maximum height and experiences a thick bloom.
This plant looks exceptional when used as garden borders, natural privacy fencing, and to accent empty landscaping space.
Plant this bush in any wildlife or pollinator garden to provide a welcome food and shelter source for local birds, butterflies, bees, and small mammals.
