Border forsythia is a vigorous grower with an upright, rounded habit that will quickly reach 8-10' tall and 10-12' wide. Its vibrant yellow blooms will appear in mid-spring, before the foliage appears, and will last for a couple of weeks. This variety can handle partial shade, but will bloom better in a full sun environment. Can be pruned back in late spring or early summer after blooms have been spent.
The 'Red Beauty' is a dense variety that produces large clusters of vibrant, red berries in the fall that persist through the winter. It will reach 8-10' tall and 4-5' wide and is often used for hedging. Best berry production when planted with blue male hollies.
