Forsythia - Spectabilis It grows at a rapid rate and is long-lived. `Spectabilis' (Showy Border Forsythia) is the most common forsythia. Flowers will last for two or three weeks unless killed by cold. Often used to control erosion on steep slopes because tips of branches root naturally and plants spread easily. Suggested uses for this plant include border, specimen plant, and screen. Prune in spring after flowering so that buds for the next year can develop in the fall.
