FORSYTHIA Lynwood #3

Originally discovered in 1935 growing in a garden called Lynwood located in Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, Lynwood Gold is a vigorous, heavy-blooming forsythia noted for its spectacular late winter to early spring bloom of  larger-than-usual bright yellow flowers. The flowers literally cover the branches before the new spring foliage emerges. The willowy green foliage emerges after the bloom cycle and is attractive throughout the season, turning an attractive purple in fall. Give this forsythia plenty of room to grow as it can spread up to 10 feet wide.
