  7. BYGL 94-3 item: “FORSYTHIA BLOOM. By now everyone is weary of the saga of forsythia blooming only below the insulating snowline due to flower bud death during the January freeze (BYGL 94-1). Occasionally someone calls and mentions that their forsythia is in full bloom, all the way to the top of the plant. What gives? It’s not wishful thinking--perhaps they simply have one of the forsythia cultivars with more winter-hardy flower buds.

  8. BYGL 94-3 item: “Chuck Behnke reports that the Meadowlark cultivar is in full bloom in Medina County, and Jim Chatfield saw this cultivar in full glory at Kingwood Center in Mansfield on 4-19. Michael Dirr in his “Manual of Woody Landscape Plants” notes that flower buds on the Meadowlark cultivar are hardy to -35 F. Chatfield’s nurserywoman sister-in-law Jane also reports that the forsythia cultivar Northern Sun is in full bloom in chilly Maine.”
