Forsythia suspensa var. sieboldii--Weeping Forsythia


Hardiness Zones: 5 to 8
Height: 9 ft Spread: 12 ft Form: weeping
Type: deciduous shrub
Annual Growth Rate: more than 18 inches
Flowers: Yellow

Comments: Weeping Forsythia is the same as border forsythia
except for its weeping (Vis. 1) growth habit. The best
growing area is sunny with any reasonable soil. Weeping
Forsythia transplants well and grows rapidly. The yellow
flowers (Vis. 2) appear in the spring before the leaves.
Weeping Forsythia tolerates city conditions and is useful on
banks because the branches root where they touch the ground.
