Forsythia x intermedia 'Show Off® ' (PP19,321 ‘Mindor’)
Forsythia are one of the earliest flowering shrubs. Famous for their graceful arching or upright branches adorned with bright yellow, four-petaled flowers in early spring. Blooms emerge before the dark green foliage emerges. Versatile and useful in a cutting garden, sunny landscape, woodland border, cottage garden, as a hedge, or on a slope or bank. They are tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, even near Black Walnut trees and in urban areas. Companion plants include Azalea, Abelia, Lilac, Spirea, Quince, Cornus/Dogwood, Clematis, Heuchera/Coral Bells, and Caryopteris. Deer usually avoid this plant.
Forsythia flower best in full sun but can grow in partial shade as well. They are low-maintenance and easy to grow. To maintain desired shape and size, trim back any overgrown or leggy branches immediately after flowering in late spring. Remove any dead branches and 1/3 of the oldest branches at ground level to encourage new growth. In colder regions, a layer of mulch around the base can help protect roots during the winter.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
