Notes

'Lynwood Gold' border forsythia (Forsythia 'Lynwood Gold') is a shrub for borders, hedges, specimens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy or clay soil. It blooms in early to late spring and tolerates drought. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Cut a few branches for indoor color.

Pairs well with Quick Fire panicle hydrangea, Pink Impression tulip, and Blue fescue.
