Hardiness Zone
Forsythia grows well in USDA zones 5–8 and performs best in regions with cold winters and moderate to warm summers. Plants planted outside of these zones may struggle to thrive.
Growth & Care
This fast-growing deciduous shrub reaches 8–10 feet tall and wide, forming an upright, arching shape. It prefers full sun for best flowering and tolerates a wide range of well-drained soils. Prune just after blooming to maintain shape and encourage next year’s flowers.
Blooms
Brilliant golden-yellow flowers cover the bare stems in early spring, often blooming before the leaves emerge. The bold color makes it one of the earliest and most dramatic signs of the season.
Seasonal Impact
'Lynwood Variety' adds a striking burst of color at the start of spring and can be used in borders, naturalized areas, or as a seasonal hedge. Its dense branching also offers cover for wildlife during the growing season.
