LATIN NAME: FORSYTHIA SUSPENSA
COMMON NAME: Weeping Forsythia, Lian Qiao
The weeping forsythia is the golden bell of the early spring, and its bare branches of bright-yellow flowers are one of the first glories of the year. It grows as a deciduous shrub, reaching up to three metres or more, with arching, drooping branches bearing opposite, oval, pointed, toothed, green leaves and, very early in the year, before the leaves, the bare stems are covered with the clusters of bright-yellow, four-petalled, bell-like flowers, which are followed by the small, two-valved capsules of the few winged seeds. It is a species of the flowering shrub in the olive family, native to the warm hills of China, while it is grown for its early golden bloom, and it is known as the weeping forsythia.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The weeping forsythia has a real and distinguished place in research. It has been studied in the chemistry of natural products and the traditional use, since the fruits of the weeping forsythia have a very long history of use in the traditional ways of China, and the researchers have examined the fruits and their constituents, while the traditional uses of the plant have drawn attention in the international pharmaceutical and botanical press, and the study of the forsythia and its chemistry has been of continuing interest across the world, and the plant is best appreciated as a subject of study and of the tradition rather than a casual remedy. The plant has also been studied in botany and ecology, since it is a native of the warm hills of China, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the wild have been examined, while the ecology of the spring-flowering shrubs has been of continuing interest, and the early golden bloom of the forsythia has been of interest to the botanists. The species has also been studied in horticulture, since it is one of the most loved of the early-flowering shrubs of the garden, and the researchers have examined its growth and its cultivation, while the bare stems of the bright-yellow, bell-like flowers have made it a treasured shrub of the spring border. For a shrub of such early value, the weeping forsythia has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
To grow the Weeping Forsythia from seed, ecologically, the weeping forsythia is a generous shrub of the garden. Its bright-yellow, bell-like flowers are among the first of the year, and they feed the early bees and the insects, while its arching, leafy growth gives a fine cover and a shelter to the birds through the summer. Its economic value is real: the weeping forsythia is prized for its early golden bloom, and its fruits have a very long history of use in the traditional ways of China, while its value has drawn attention in the international pharmaceutical and horticultural press, and it is one of the most planted of the spring-flowering shrubs of the garden. To raise the weeping forsythia, sow the seeds in pots of moist, free-draining compost in a sunny, open spot, keep them lightly watered, and grow the little shrubs on in the light.

COMMON NAME: Weeping Forsythia
The weeping forsythia is a handsome, spreading, arching, deciduous shrub of the gardens, and its fine, oval, toothed leaves and its many bright-yellow, four-petalled, bell-shaped flowers have made it one of the earliest and most cheerful of the garden shrubs of the spring. It grows as a spreading, arching, deciduous shrub, reaching up to three metres or more, with the long, arching, hollow stems bearing the opposite, oval, pointed, toothed leaves and, through the early spring, the many bright-yellow, four-petalled, bell-shaped flowers along the bare stems, followed by the small, dry, many-seeded capsules. It is a species of the flowering shrub in the olive family, and it is native to the woodlands of the eastern Asia, while it is grown as a treasured ornamental shrub, and it is known as the weeping forsythia.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the weeping forsythia is a generous shrub of the garden. Its many bright-yellow, four-petalled, bell-shaped flowers are an early source of the nectar for the bees and the many insects of the spring, and its fine, arching, leafy growth gives a fine cover and a shelter to the birds.
Its economic value is real. The weeping forsythia is prized for its many bright-yellow, early flowers, and its beauty has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a shrub of the spring garden, while its fine, cheerful, arching form has made it a treasured shrub of the many gardens of the world. The plant is best kept as a subject of study rather than a casual home remedy. For a grower, the weeping forsythia is an easy and rewarding shrub, and for a gardener it brings a bright-yellow, bell-flowered, arching shrub to the spring garden. Give the seeds a short warm bath — soak them in lukewarm water for a little while, then sow them in a tray of moist compost, barely covering them with a whisper of soil, water gently, and keep the tray in a bright but not scorching spot.

Genus: Forsythia Species: suspensa Common Name: Trifoliate Forsythia Other Name: Lian Qiao Pre-treatment: not-required Height / Spread: 3m/6m Plant Type: Medium Shrub Growth rate: medium-fast Vegetation type: deciduous Leaf/Flower color: dark green/yelow DESCRIPTION: Forsythias are harbingers of spring, beloved for their early, prolific display of brilliant yellow blooms. These upright, deciduous, occasionally semi-evergreen shrubs possess mostly hollow, angled branches with foliage held in opposite pairs. The leaves are usually simple (without lobes or indentations), or trifoliate (three-lobed), with smooth or serrated margins. Showy, tubular yellow blooms with four spreading petals generally appear before the leaves, and are borne singly in the leaf axils (joints between the leaves and stems). The fruits that follow are capsules which split to release a few slightly winged seeds. The plant refers full to part sun locations and clay or loamy soils, and some are tolerant of a wide range of conditions. Give these shrubs room to spread, as they can become quite large. Most do not take well to shearing, and should be pruned with discretion just after flowering if at all, so the buds for next year’s blooms can develop in the fall. These lovely shrubs are effective planted in masses or groups, and their stems may be cut and brought indoors for forcing into bloom in late winter.
