Forsythia ×intermedia
Also called Border Forsythia, Forsythia
Showy forsythia is an upright, arching deciduous shrub grown for its early, bright yellow spring flowers. It thrives in full sun or part shade and tolerates drought once established.
Forsythia × intermedia, or border forsythia, is an ornamental deciduous shrub of garden origin.
The hybrid is best suited to a position in full sun or partial shade and is drought-tolerant. Like some other forsythias it is one of the earliest shrubs to flower. Well adapted to temperature changes, it blooms with bright yellow flowers that are noticeable even in twilight. It is one of several forsythia species that are widely cultivated in gardens and parks.
The first dirigent protein was discovered in Forsythia intermedia. This protein has been found to direct the stereoselective biosynthesis of (+)-pinoresinol from coniferyl alcohol monomers.
