10 Seeds Weeping Forsythia Forsythia suspensa Golden Bell Shrub Yellow Spring Flower
Weeping Forsythia is a graceful deciduous shrub known for its arching, fountain-like branches that become covered in bright yellow, bell-shaped blooms in early spring before the foliage emerges. Its cascading habit and cheerful seasonal color make it a striking choice for borders, slopes, and mixed shrub plantings.
This shrub works well as a specimen plant, in informal hedges, or along walls and banks where its weeping form can be appreciated. It is valued for its early-season ornamental display and ease of growth in a sunny position.
