Bring early-season color to your landscape with Forsythia × intermedia 'Lynwood Gold' (Border Forsythia 'Lynwood Gold'), a classic deciduous shrub prized for its brilliant, golden-yellow flowers that open along bare stems in early spring. You will often see it used as a hedge or border because it quickly forms a dense, upright-arching silhouette and blooms before most other shrubs have even leafed out.

At maturity, expect a large shrub roughly 6-9 feet tall with a similar spread, making it ideal for screens, foundations, and mixed shrub borders. Plant it in full sun for the heaviest flowering, but it will also perform well in part shade. Once established, it is notably tolerant of drought and adaptable to many typical garden soils as long as drainage is reasonable.

For the best display year after year, prune right after flowering, removing a portion of the oldest canes at the base to encourage vigorous new growth. Avoid late-season pruning that can remove next spring's flower buds, since blooms form on older wood. This simple timing keeps the plant full, floriferous, and easier to maintain at your preferred size.

Use 'Lynwood Gold' where you want dependable spring impact: mass plantings for a bright seasonal show, a loose flowering hedge, or as a standout specimen that signals the start of the growing season.
