| Forsythia X Intermedia 'Lynwood Gold'
An old traditional favorite!! Long thought of as the official harbinger of spring. Bright yellow flowers in early spring is followed by a handsome display of nice dark green foliage. Leaves are about 2"- 2 1/2" long and serrated at the edges. Very fast growth rate - during the spring, the branches almost have the appearance of yellow wands. A very good performer that loves full sun, average soil, and adequate moisture. Best used as group plantings, along fence rows, along banks, etc. This is an old, reliable favorite that was first introduced back in 1935 - and will probably be around for generations to come!!
