Forsythia × intermedia ‘Week-End®’ is a deciduous shrub known for its strong early spring flowering and well-shaped growth. As winter ends, the bare stems become covered with bright yellow blossoms, creating a vivid display before the leaves appear. After the flowering period, fresh green foliage develops and forms a full, leafy shrub that remains through the summer months. Its balanced growth habit makes it useful in borders, mixed planting, or informal hedges where reliable spring colour is desired. Hardy in UK gardens, it grows in most soils that drain well and performs best in full sun or light shade.
