The
pink forsythia is a gorgeous spring flowering shrub that produces
long trails of light soft pink flowers. An added feature is
that the flowers are slightly fragrant as is the foliage.
The pink forsythia produces their flowers, which open from
purple buds that cover the bare stems before the leaves unfold.
The pink forsythia flowers slightly earlier than most other
forsythia cultivars.
The medium green foliage of the pink forsythia follows along
after the flowers. The foliage can be sheared for shape or
left to grow in its natural habit. The pink forsythia occasionally
needs heavy pruning after bloom to encourage flowering in
subsequent years.
