Cheerful, Early-Blooming Forsythia for Bright Spring Color
Forsythia is one of the first shrubs to herald the arrival of spring. Bright yellow blossoms appear before the leaves, producing glowing sprays of color to brighten the landscape after winter dormancy. As one of the earliest blooming shrubs to brighten the landscape, Forsythia is an important shrub for gardeners who desire consistent, cheerful spring color. TN Nursery has grown hardy flowering shrubs for over 65 years. Our plants have been used in major landscaping projects at Arlington National Cemetery and The Washington Monument since 1959, and our horticultural knowledge has been featured on the Discovery and History networks. With that long of a history, we have a lot of authority in this business and we make sure that each and every Forsythia we ship to you is healthy, hardy, and has been field tested.
Why Forsythia Brings Joy to the Landscape
Few shrubs make such a big impact so quickly as Forsythia. Arching branches are soaked in sunshine yellow flowers, and are like a lightswitch for your garden when so little else is blooming. Bright green leaves after flowering make a clean, fresh background for perennials and summer shrubs. Forsythia's natural informal shape adds motion and vitality to borders, foundations and mixed plantings. TN Nursery only carries Forsythias with strong branching, heavy bloom potential, and great cold hardiness.
A Low-Maintenance Shrub With Multi-Season Appeal
Forsythia is not only an annual harbinger of spring; it can add year-round value to a landscape. It's long, pliable branches can be manipulated into shrubs or left to form drifts of foliage and flowers. The shrub prefers full sun, but can handle part shade, as well as clay, sand or loamy soils. Forsythia is perfect for hedges, defining property lines, erosion control or mass plantings of color. Clusters of the plants create a "yellow river" of seasonal drama along roadways or garden edges. Forsythia is a dependably hardy shrub that will thicken every year with little pruning and an occasional drink of water.
