Deciduous shrub with yellow blooms in early spring.

The blooms on this olive family member are slightly bell-shape and range from butter yellow to gold.

To maintain forsythia's graceful vase shape, careful pruning is required. Otherwise, new growth sprouts straight up into a "bad hair day" effect.The toothed leaves will deepen into purple tints just before they drop in late fall.
