Forsythia A popular form of horticultural therapy for those suffering from late winter blossom deprivation. You may not realize you’ve been pronouncing the name wrong. It’s “fors-eyeth,” not “for- sith.” Reason? Because plant names derived from a proper name should be pronounced as the name is pronounced.
Forsythia was named for William Forsyth, the Scottish gardener to King George III and curator of the Chelsea Physic Garden. We offer a wide selection of gourmet Forsythia, ranging from mildly to wildly variegated, plus some with plain green leaves as well. Forsythias are not fussy as to soil and exposure, tolerating full sun or partial shade with equanimity. Deer don’t like to eat them, either!
