The deliciously-fragrant blossoms of 'white forsythia' are such a treat, especially since they come right when you are feeling most desperate for spring! This lovely pink-flowered variety is a gem! The small shell-pink flowers appear on bare-stems and have a pretty, dainty look to them. This compact, multi-stemmed shrub reaches 4-6' and makes a nice backdrop or hedge after the bloom season.

The "pink flowered" White Forsythia. Same size and zone as the white form. Lovely scent.

There is something to be said for a hardy fragrant early spring flowering shrub. Hmmm, What would that be? Nice? Better than nice? The trouble with Abeliophyllum is that the flowers come and go so quickly, but it is spring after all and we should be happy to see anything that's not grey and cold. zone 4.

This white forsythia is pink! Light pink flowers appear in late February on a 5-6' open shrub. Plant has fragrant flowers and could probably be a good host for a small flowered clematis or an annual vine.
