This variety is a rather tall growing
deciduous forsythia bush that grows stiffly upright. It can grow up to
10 feet tall and wide. Lynwood Golds make excellent border shrubs planted
3-5ft apart, growing into a dense natural hedge. Forsythia tend to grow
very fast and prefer full sun. The flowers are rather big and have a bright,
shiny, yellow, color and bloom from March to April all along the stems
before the foliage starts growing. The foliage has a nice mid-green to
dark-green color and turns to a lovely yellow to orange, red, violet in
autumn!
