Noted for its weeping habit, Forsythia suspensa (Weeping Forsythia) is a gracefully arching deciduous shrub forming a large, upright-spreading, almost fountain-like shrub. In early to mid-spring, a profusion of nodding, narrowly-trumpet-shaped, brilliant yellow flowers open on the naked branches. They are slightly smaller, 1-1¼ in. across (2-3 cm), and not as profuse as those of the Border Forsythia, 1¼ to 1½ in. across (3-4 cm). The leaves are usually undivided but may occasionally be three-lobed. One of the earliest blooming shrubs, Weeping Forsythia is one of the parents of the popular Forsythia x intermedia. It can be used beautifully on banks and slopes, walls, or any place where its long, pendulous branches are able to stretch and arch.

  • Grows up to 6-10 ft. tall and wide (180-300 cm). If left alone, plants may colonize an area over time because weeping branches often root where they touch the ground.
  • A full sun or part shade lover, this plant is best grown in moist, well-drained soils. Best flower production is obtained in full sun.
  • Perfect as a specimen plant, for foundations or hedges, in mixed borders, on banks or slopes. Great for coastal gardens or cottage gardens.
  • Low maintenance, this plant is deer resistant and fairly trouble-free.
  • Pests and Diseases: Forsythia is seldom troubled by pests. However, it may be affected by aphids, spider mites, four-lined plant bugs, or Japanese weevils. Forsythia is susceptible to leaf spot, twig blight, and crown gall.
  • Prune immediately after spring flowering to encourage strong, healthy shoots and improve flowering.
  • Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings
  • Native to China

Gardening Ideas

Bird-Friendly Creekside Border Bird-Friendly Creekside – Deciduous Holly & Dogwood Conditions: Full sun–part shade, heavier soils that stay moist but not swampy Shrub anchor: Deciduous holly / possumhaw (Ilex decidua) – loves creek bottoms and wetter spots. Companions: Roughleaf dogwood (Cornus drummondii) – thicket-forming, good with periodic flooding. American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) – tolerates heavier soils; good in part shade. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) – adaptable warm season grass for stabilizing banks. Blue mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum) – late-season nectar near the water’s edge. Design idea: Create a layered wildlife corridor along a drainage swale or creek. Plant possumhaw and dogwood toward the back, beautyberry mid layer, and switchgrass and mistflower nearest the waterline. Garden
