Dwarf Forsythia
Product Description: Dwarf Forsythia
Use This Forsythia as a Unique Groundcover!
Do you have a big patch of ground and are looking for a unique groundcover? Try something different! Dwarf Forsythia (Forsythia viridissima \’Bronxensis’) has all of the beauty and benefits of its full-sized brethren, but in a sweet little, low-growing package.
Spring brings attractive, bright yellow flowers that are produced on a low growing, compact plant. It blooms from the tips of the stem to the bottom, which means a long bloom time. It also blooms slightly later than most other Forsythias, so you have flowers further on in the season. Not to be outdone, summer brings bright green foliage that turns a striking bronze-purple color in the fall.
Dwarf Forsythia is good for mass plantings and spectacular when used as a low hedge in front of taller perennials. It is naturally very compact and self-branching so is a perfect focal point for a smaller garden too.
This plant fits well in perennial and shrub borders as well as foundation plantings. Give it plenty of sun and watch it take off! It is a rapid grower, but takes pruning well.
Buy enough to line your walk or fill that bare spot in your garden.
