Forsythia x intermedia
Border Forsythia

• Beloved for its prolific yellow flowers in very early spring, this mid-sized shrub is a hybrid of two Asian species.

• It is tough and highly adaptable but has a tendency to sucker in the garden and even spread into natural areas.

• Grows in sun or shade but best flowering occurs in full sun.

• Tolerant of drought and urban conditions and deer resistant.

• Because of its potential invasive qualities, consider planting a native alternative to forsythia.
