Description

First Editions® Spring Fling™ Forsythia is a compact powerhouse of early spring color. Unlike leggy traditional varieties, Spring Fling™ is prized for its tidy, rounded habit and an incredible density of large, yellow blooms that blanket every inch of the stems from top to bottom. It’s the perfect maintenance-free choice for gardeners who want that classic spring "glow" in a more manageable size.

  • Flowers: Large, vibrant yellow bells; extremely dense bloom coverage in early spring.

  • Growth: Compact, rounded habit; matures to 5–6' tall and wide.

  • Light: Best in full sun (6+ hours) for the most prolific flower production.

  • Water: Average water needs; once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant.

  • Soil: Highly adaptable to most soil types; prefers well-drained conditions.

  • Hardiness: Very reliable and cold hardy; USDA Zones 4–8.

  • Landscape Use: Ideal for compact hedges, mass plantings, or as a focal point in small gardens.

  • Pro Tip: Forsythia blooms on "old wood." To ensure a spectacular show every year, only prune immediately after the spring flowers have faded. Avoid pruning in late summer or winter, or you will remove next year's flower buds!
