Forsythia 'Flying Machine®' blossoms on the ground

Even when the flowers are done, they stay in tact when they fall to the ground forming a gold carpet under the plant.

It blooms on old wood, so prune immediately after flowering to prevent cutting off next year’s flowers.

This variety of Forsythia is easy to grow, shade tolerant (although it will bloom more heavily in the sun) and deer resistant
