Description
Forsythia intermedia 'Lynwood' is an old hybrid variety, still very popular today thanks to its beautiful vigor, hardiness, and abundance of flowers. This easy-to-grow shrub carries a mass of bright yellow flowers along its upright branches, dazzling like the first sun after the long winter. A solid and tolerant forsythia, there are plenty of good reasons to adopt it!
Forsythia x intermedia 'Lynwood' is a charming deciduous bush belonging to the olive family. It descends from a spontaneous hybrid of two species native to China, Forsythia suspensa and Forsythia viridissima. The 'Lynwood' cultivar was obtained in Northern Ireland in 1935. It will reach 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) in all directions at maturity, initially showing a rounded, upright and well-branched bushy habit, and a very dense vegetation. Like other forsythias, it provides a true spring spectacle in March, literally covering its naked branches with numerous small bell-shaped flowers with bright yellow petals and stamens. The flowering is followed by the appearance of deciduous foliage. Its long pointed leaves, 8 to 10 cm (3.1 to 3.9 in) long, are finely serrated and have a beautiful glossy dark green colour.
The 'Lynwood' Forsythia is perfectly hardy and very easy to maintain. It grows in all types of soil and under most climates. It can be grown both as a specimen plant and in groups in borders, including with Abelia grandiflora, Smoke Bush, or with Mahonia or Mock Orange. It can be used in flowering hedges as its branching is quite low. You can also train it against a wall. Its flowers can be cut. In early December, cut a branch or two and put them in a vase, they will bloom for Christmas.

Planting and care
The Forsythia intermedia Lyngold enjoys a sunny position as well as partial shade. Place it in any ordinary, even clay or limestone soil, that is sufficiently deep and not too compact. After flowering, remove half or two-thirds of the height of the flowering branches to rejuvenate the bush and ensure good flowering in the following spring. During the first three years, a simple removal of dead, thin or misplaced stems will be sufficient.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
