Forsythia

Forsythia (Forsythia x intermedia) is a striking deciduous shrub known for its early spring display of bright golden-yellow flowers, which appear before the leaves emerge. Fast-growing and low-maintenance, it makes an excellent hedge, feature shrub, or mixed border addition. Forsythia thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, bringing a burst of colour to gardens after winter. Its arching branches create a natural, informal shape, perfect for wildlife-friendly landscapes.
