Forsythia One of the first shrubs to bloom in spring, the Forsythia erupts with bright golden yellow flowers all along its bare leafless branches when most plants are still in winter dormancy. The leaves, which begin to emerge after the flowers are already open, are arranged in opposing pairs along the long, arching stems. Use the forsythias in mixed shrub borders, mixed hedges or, better yet, as a specimen shrub so that its long arching cane-like stems can be allowed to develop freely. Be sure to give it enough room. White tailed deer love forsythia and will keep the leaves stripped all summer long if allowed half a chance.

| Common Name:
'Show Off''
'Forsythia' Scientific Name : Forsythia x intermedia 'Show Off'' It seems like almost all forsythias are showy but 'Show Off' stretches the bounds of showiness with a display of blooms that is an incredible blast of golden yellow color in April and early May on a plant that is denser, rounder and more controlled than 'Lynwood Gold' could ever think of being! With deep, dark green foliage it takes on a neater, more refine look in the summer months and, like most forsythia, its perfect for grouping to make a border planting, but will do so in a much more confined area without growing you out of house and home. Matures 3-5' tall and 5-6' wide. Hardy to Zone 3. |
