Golden bell is one of the earliest blooming shrubs in Central European spring. Though considered one of the most usual, perhaps boring and omnipresent shrubs, once it puts up its millions of vivid yellow flowers it cheers up many tired faces. Forsythia x intermedia is a hybrid F. suspensa x F. viridissima.
Lynwood is probably one of the most popular varieties of golden bell. In early spring it produces heavy load of bright yellow, open wide flowers, evenly distributed along the branches. The shrub grows very upright forming a well-behaved shape (unlike most other varieties). Deciduous leaves are lanceolate, deep green, serrated at margins and partly glossy. They turn yellow and red in autumn.
It can be pruned almost any time from spring until early autumn. However, the best time is after flowering.
It is widely soil adaptable. It will tolerate poor soil, and both temporary drought or flooding. Fully hardy to min. -29°C (USDA zone 5), but withstands short spells of deeper frost.
