Corylopsis (Winter Hazel)
These members of the witch hazel family are deciduous, multi-stemmed shrubs blooming in very early spring with flowers of light yellow in short, pendulous racemes. Branching habit is arching, producing a wide-spreading plant. You might be thinking forsythia at this point, but these are quite different; they bloom a bit earlier; the color is much softer; the flowers smaller, hanging in graceful tassels; and the habit is much more refined. Ultimate size depends upon the species, ranging from the smallest, dainty, fragrant, and floriferous, C. pauciflora, Buttercup Winterhazel at 4-6 feet, to the fragrant, deeper yellow, C. platypetala at 10-15 feet. All are best for the woodland garden, acidic soil, and a bit of shade in Zones (5) 6-8. Since they bloom so early, they are susceptible to late frosts, so site them carefully.

CORYLOPSIS pauciflora
The easiest species to fit in the smaller garden. The habit is much more dense and twiggy than the other species. The pale yellow flowers appear at the end of winter in pendulous spikes. more info
