This vigorous, upright shrub produces masses of bell-shaped blooms along its branches before the foliage emerges, creating a stunning early-season show. Its arching branches and bright green leaves provide a lovely backdrop in summer, and the foliage often turns attractive shades of purple and red in autumn. Lynwood Gold is an excellent choice for mixed borders, hedges, foundation plantings, and as a specimen plant where its early color can be enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis live bare root plant is ready to establish in your garden, bringing reliable spring color and easy-care beauty to your landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfuse golden-yellow flowers in early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-growing, upright to arching habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdaptable to a wide range of soil types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer-resistant and low-maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive fall foliage color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forsythia x intermedia 'Lynwood Gold'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, average soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; water regularly until established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, arching branches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-8 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6 feet apart for hedge planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant your bare root forsythia as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the spread of the roots and deep enough so the crown sits at or slightly above soil level. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to encourage establishment. Once established, forsythia is drought-tolerant and requires minimal care. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and promote new growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne (1) Lynwood Gold Forsythia live bare root plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776289472822,"sku":"FOLIA-527","price":91.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6650135233_1xe3.jpg?v=1792468646","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/lynwood-gold-forsythia-shrub-live-bare-root-plant-zones-4-9","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
