Introduction
The ‘Lynwood Gold’ forsythia is one of the best and most reliable of the forsythias. This lovely shrub is one of the earliest bloomers, beginning in April, with big yellow flowers up the entire length of the stem, great use as cut flowers. It is a dense growing plant with an upright habit, reaching heights and widths of 6’-8’.
Use and Management
This forsythia is excellent for hedges or accent plantings. It is fast growing, adaptable to most soils and tolerates moist soil. Likes full sun but can be planted in partial shade.
