An early Spring garden bloomer, the White Forsythia Shrub produces clusters of flowers before the leaves develop much like a magnolia tree.
The deciduous Forsythia plant is a rapid growing multi-stemmed shrub more commonly seen as a yellow flowering forsythia.
Unusual, the Forsythia is a member of the olive (Oleaceae) family and does not produce any fruit.
This White Forsythia Flower appears white on the petals up close with a pinkish tone at a distance.
The genus is named after Mr. William Forsyth.
