Forsythia Shrub

Forsythia is a fast-growing, easy-to-grow deciduous shrub. While this plant is not native to North America, it is widely naturalized in parts of the USA. Flowering begins in early spring, before the leaves emerge. The flowers of this shrub are bright yellow, almost neon, and bloom in clusters of 2-6 flowers. They emerge directly along the length of the old-growth stems. Due to its early flowering, it is known as the harbinger of spring, as it is one of the few plants to bring color to the winter landscape.
