Forsythia 'Lynwood Gold'
FamilyOleaceae
Forsythia ‘Lynwood Gold’ is a classic ornamental shrub, highly valued for its spectacular spring bloom and vigorous habit. It forms a broad, upright, then slightly arching shrubby silhouette with age, making it an excellent choice for informal hedges, mass plantings, or as a specimen plant. From early spring, before the foliage appears, its branches are entirely covered with large, intense golden-yellow flowers, offering a bright display that heralds the end of winter. Its deciduous, medium-green foliage then provides a structuring presence throughout the summer. Very hardy and perfectly adapted to Quebec conditions, ‘Lynwood Gold’ is renowned for its reliability, abundant flowering, and ease of cultivation, even in demanding climatic conditions.
