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!

FORSYTHIA Week End™ 'Courtalyn' PPAF
(C8) Week End™ is more compact with a size two thirds the height of Lynwood. It has the same abundant large flowers but without the wild branches. The flowers are distributed over the entire plant and open several weeks later than normal. more info

FORSYTHIA intermedia 'Susan Gruninger'
(C8) Creamy white borders to the leaves are about a quarter inch wide and uniform. Leaves do not burn. more info

FORSYTHIA mandshurica 'Vermont Sun'
(C8) Its unusual leaves are almost round, about 3 inches in diameter on a plant with stiff, upright branches that reach to 6-8 feet. Arguably one of the hardiest forsythia with sulfur-yellow flowers. more info

FORSYTHIA viridissima Citrus Swizzle™'McKCitrine'
A variegated sport of the compact dwarf 'Bronxensis' with creamy margined leaves. Leaves take on a purple cast in the Fall for even more colorific appeal. It has great habit and texture, often used as a groundcover or border edge. more info

FORSYTHIA viridissima var koreana 'Kumson'
(C) Leaf veins on this form are white, creating a lacy network over the leaves. It has a very distinct type of variegation rarely seen in hardy plants, quite elegant, showy and attractive. more info

FORSYTHIA x 'Happy Centennial'
(C) Useful for its compact, low habit to only about two and a half feet tall and a bit wider. It flowers heavily and early, having F. ovata in its pedigree. Flower buds are exceptionally cold hardy. more info

FORSYTHIA x intermedia 'Ford Freeway'
(C) A good grower, distinguishing itself from some other variegated ones we’ve tried. The variegation has been stable for us, although the intensity of the creamy streaks and splashes is more noticeable on actively growing shoots than on the older leaves. more info

FORSYTHIA x intermedia 'Gold Leaf'
(C) Our original plant came from a sale at the Arnold Arboretum some years back. Leaves are quite yellow, color holds best with a little, but not too much shade. more info

FORSYTHIA xintermedia 'Fiesta'
(C) This is a small shrub growing to less than 3 feet tall and wide with none of those long willowy branches you’re thinking of. This grows compact, and the leaves are variegated with irregular gold center splashes. more info
