Product description
Forsythia Flojor is a deciduous shrub with a compact habit. It boasts eye-catching foliage of yellow colour, which is joined by a mild tint of green throughout. Bright, golden-yellow flowers will begin to appear in Spring and last through to Autumn, before dying off and returning in the following year's Spring period. Due to the vibrant shades and slight fragrance that this plant can bring, it is ideal for pots, containers, beds, borders and more. It should be planted in moist, well drained soil. Regular watering of up to 2 inches per week will suffice, ensuring the soil never dries out. In placement, full sunlight conditions are best to ensure the plant maintains its eye-catching colour in foliage and flowers.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune Forsythia right after flowering to maintain its shape and promote strong growth for next season's blooms.
How to Water
Water Forsythia deeply and consistently, especially during dry spells. Once established, they are drought-tolerant, but regular watering encourages healthy growth. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Forsythia in well-draining soil in a sunny or partially shaded location. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base to retain moisture.
