Forsythia became known to the western world in the XVIII century. It was named in honor of William Forysth, director of the Chelsea Physic Garden. It has soon become a very popular gardening species because of it’s spectacular yellow flowering, which is one of the earliest and announces the arrival of Spring. It can and should be pruned often to encourage a bushy habit and to increase the production of flowers.
