    Will it do well in shade

    Answer This Question

    Hi Shade, Thanks for your question about the 3 Gal. Lynwood Gold Forsythia! 🌼 Forsythias, including Lynwood Gold, really shine best in full sun to partial sun — they love plenty of light to produce those vibrant yellow blooms. In mostly shade, they may grow leggy and produce fewer flowers. If your garden spot is mostly shady, we’d be happy to recommend some beautiful flowering shrubs that thrive in lower light! Just reach out anytime at online@bellnursery.com — we’re here to help you find the perfect fit. Wishing you a bright and blooming garden, — The Bell Nursery Team 🌿✨

        I have had two of these forsythia plants in my yard for 2 years and the deer have not touched them. But my poor arborvitae’s were a tasty snack .

            Almost totally dead
            Ordered 4 and one was totally dead with black crispy leaves and the other 3 all had a ton of dead Black leaves and not one yellow bloom at all. I had to trim offall the dead stuff and hope they survive transplant. Very unhappy with this purchase. I’ll never order plants online at Home Depot again without seeing them in person.

              SEVERELY ROOTBOUND Do not buy
              I bought this two weeks ago, arrived today. Not impressed with either the height or the quality. It all made sense once i pulled the plant from the pot. The plant was completely rootbound, and not just a little bit. I would say its been bound for two or three seasons. I tried to break up the roors as best i could, had to cut some. The supplier should be ashamed of themselves. Trying to make a profit on stunted and rootbound plants. The overall height of the Rootbound plant was aprox 10". If the supplier is reading this, you should send me another plant. One thats healthy. As it stands i will not purchase again from this supplier

                  Great value
                  I expected may be a 2 foot plant and received about a 45 foot plant. Looks like great quality.

                      Impressive!
                      I ordered 5 of these and have to admit my expectations were low given the price and I have never ordered shrubs on-line before but I was quite impressed with what I received in terms of freshness and especially size (height and root ball). We are past the flowering season so will have to wait until next spring to see how they survive, grow, and flower (I'm in southern Maine) but what I received far exceeded expectations.

                        Awesome plant
                        I have been told that when the forsythia bloom is the time to put your pre-emergent on your lawn. I am a big lawn guy and there are no other forsythia plants around in my neighborhood so this will come in very handy. It arrived dormant in the well-packed cardboard box but i do really like how the plant looks like in the photo. The information tag says it gets up to 10 feet tall so be sure to plant it accordingly. I planted mine with compost, soil conditioner, biotone and finished it off with brown mulch, all of which I got from Home Depot. Very excited for spring to come!

                        Looks very healthy and like the picture
                        The shrub came very well packaged, in great soil and very moist. Thankfully the pot was wrapped in saran wrap because they shipped it upside down. But it did not damage it, as they had it tied up well. It is still winter time so no buds, but the roots look strong and the stems look very healthy. Looks like the picture, minus the leaves since it is winter, of course.

                        Can't wait for it to bloom!
                        I received my Forsythia today and was really surprised at the size! We had one years ago and it had to be removed from the yard, so I had been looking for one. It was easy to plant and it had a ton of roots. I can't wait to see it start blooming. Although it is still somewhat in the dormant stage, some little buds were starting to emerge. It appears to be a very healthy plant. Plant where it will receive lots of sunshine! Very happy with this shrub! I wish I could take pictures of the blooms (yet to come).
