By: Amy Wood Does your landscape look bare? Is it all dull and boring, it blooms year after year with gorgeous beautiful flowers, shrubs and plants. Yet, no matter how many the birds sing, no matter how gorgeous the butterflies are and no matter how many bees are buzzing it still isn’t complete but what is it? Something still doesn’t seem right, you walk around your yard and something is missing but you just can’t seem to put your finger on it. Are you looking for some color? If you want that then one plant that really stands out that makes an impression if you are then the Karl Sax Forsythia may be what you have been looking for to make your yard really “pop.” It will not only add color to an existing landscaped yard but can also make a great an impact on a yard that lacks interest or color. The Karl Sax forsythia is a deciduous shrub which is one of six varieties of this forsythia. It tends to be a moderate shrub that averages about 6 ft. in height with a spread of 10 - 12 ft. It is a vigorous grower and a very hardy plant. The branches are robust but not rigidly erect, which gives the shrub a more graceful habit. The shoots go upright as well as having some that gracefully arch. The summer foliage is a dull, dark green above with a lighter under-belly, displaying as ovate to lance-shaped toward the tips with toothed margins and measuring 3-5 inches long by 0.5-1 inch wide. The stems are somewhat squared with prominent lenticels. The autumn foliage is green to yellowish-green with the best plants having a purple or burgundy tinge over the yellow base color. It flowers profusely with blooms that are a dark, deep yellow and golden, yet brilliant. They are borne in groups or clusters of 2-6 with four lobes, beginning in March and into April, with the blooms lasting up to three weeks. The fruit appears as a small brown capsule and has no ornamental importance. It is one of the earliest bloomers and is considered a sure sign of spring. The flowers precede the appearance of the leaves which make this shrub so uniquely beautiful. The Karl Sax Forsythia can be purchased online from www.tnnursery.net otherwise known as TN nursery.
