Spring hasn't truly sprung until you have seen Forsythia in bloom. The slender stems of this ever popular deciduous shrub are smothered in bright yellow bell shaped flowers from early March onwards. Once these have faded away, Forsythia x intermedia 'Week-End' with happily become part of a hedge or shrub border, These plants can also be used in containers to brighten up your patio! Height: 250cm (98"). Spread: 250cm (98").

Culinary note: The blossoms are edible raw, though they can be slightly bitter. They will add colour to salads and are a cheery garnish. For more details about edible flowers click here.

How to Grow

Grow Forsythia plants in moist, well drained soil in full sun or semi-shade.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info

Feed and water Forsythia plants regularly until fully established. Container grown plants will require annual dressing with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser and regular watering throughout the summer months. Border grown plants will require less attention. In late spring after flowering has finished, prune Forsythia by cutting back all flowered shoots to a healthy pair of leaves. On established Forsythia plants, cut back up to a fifth of the oldest shoots to their base, to encourage healthy new growth and improve flowering. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure or other organic matter around the base of the plant after pruning.
