#ProPlantTips for Care

Give them at least four hours of sunshine a day. The more sun, the more blooms!

This tidy selection does need to be planted in well-drained soil. Elevate your shrubs in a raised bed, or keep them in containers if you have soggy soil where you want to plant.

Protect your investment in landscape plants with a consistent schedule of water. Even application of a moderate amount of water is best for this special shrub.

You may never need to prune the miniature Show Off Sugar Baby, because it stays perfectly small. If you do need to shape, or want to rejuvenate it by removing the oldest branches...wait until after the flowers are done.

Luckily, deer seldom bother Forsythia, but don't take chances if you live in an area with deer pressure. We recommend that you apply deer repellent on the day you plant and reapply it following the directions on the label.
