Weeping Forsythia (Forsythia suspensa)
Weeping Forsythia (Forsythia suspensa) is a graceful, arching shrub known for its long, trailing branches and early spring display of bright yellow flowers. Native to China and one of the original species from which many modern hybrids are derived, this forsythia offers a more naturalistic, cascading form that adds softness and movement to informal landscapes and slopes.
Distinctive Features
Forsythia suspensa grows 6 to 10 feet tall and can spread 8 to 12 feet wide, with long, arching canes that drape outward and downward. In early spring, its bare stems become covered in bell-shaped yellow flowers, creating a waterfall-like effect of color. After flowering, bright green, serrated leaves fill in, giving the plant a lush, mounded appearance through summer and fall.
Growing Conditions

Ideal Uses

- Slopes and Banks: Naturally trailing form helps control erosion
- Informal Borders: Fits beautifully in cottage gardens and woodland edges
