Product description
Forsythia ‘Weekend’ is an attractive variety of Forsythia plants, featuring lance shaped leaves and bright yellow flowers that grow abundantly. It is a more compact variety with upright growing habit, making it most suitable for use as a hedging plant. These plants create an astonishing display of flowers in spring, especially when planted as borders in a garden.
Forsythia Weekend blooms flowers abundantly, covering the entire thin bare stems that rise from the bottom of the shrub. These flowers when in their full glory, indicate the beginning of spring season.
These deciduous shrubs will thrive in full sunlight or partial shade, planted in a moist soil that is also well-drained. To encourage the growth of the plant, add a balanced feed of fertiliser. Once Forsythia plants establish their roots system, they would not ask for extra care.
These are low maintenance shrubs, easy to grow even for a seasoned gardener. But the impact these little (3cm) bright flowers can have over a landscape of a garden, is just magnificent.
Forsythia Weekend bloom throughout March and April. After the flowers fade, the beautiful foliage will keep the plants spirited for the remaining seasons. These shrubs can be planted as excellent hedging plants or as borders in any general garden landscape.

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.

Instructions
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.
