The forsythia shrub is a very common sight
in gardens all over the world and rightly so. Its bright
yellow flowers give a splash of colour when few other shrubs
are flowering. The forsythia is a very hardy shrub and
will stand almost total neglect. This is a great shrub for
the beginner gardener and the expert gardener because given
a little attention, a forsythia bush will reward you a
thousand times.
They are adaptable to even the smallest or largest garden
because they prune so easily. |
