The best time to do any pruning on all Forsythia is right after the flowers have faded. Large and overgrown plants can be cut to the ground right after flowering, and the plants will respond with lots of new growth from the ground and still make flower buds for next year.  Simple, and easy to grow plants are hardy from zones 5-8, and make large rounded shrubs about 8’ round.For a spectacular splash of color that signals the arrival of spring, you can’t go wrong with the Lynwood Gold Forsythia.  Order yours today!*Incredible, long lasting lemon yellow color first shrub to bloom*Easy to care for, and very pest free*Screening, informal hedging, snow fencing, shrub or perennial backdrop.
