Forsythias are a low maintenance, early blooming deciduous shrub with bright yellow flowers in very early spring. In fact, it is one of the first shrubs to bloom after winter.
It is an excellent plant for borders, woodlands, hedges and naturalized plantings.
Forsythia is best grown in full sun in moist, average soils. It can also be used as a cut flower. Simply trim a few branches and bring them inside before they bloom
