Planting and Application:
Forsythia like these makes excellent erosion control and slows rainwater, especially on slopes and hard-to-mow hillsides! To keep it in its smallest form, simply trim it to the ground after bloom to encourage new growth and more flowers the next year! Use Arnold as a single specimen to accent around larger trees, in colorful groupings, or in long rows before foundation plantings! It keeps a low profile around the end of your driveway for a vivid welcome home without blocking your view!
A moderately fast grower, Arnold creates a desirable border, covers ground en masse to fill voids, and is an ideal facer shrub in the landscape! What makes this an excellent groundcover? Arnold Dwarf reroots as it spreads! You'll effortlessly enjoy naturalized fill and colorful colonies of gold and green! If allowed to arch to the ground, the branches will root and spread, creating tidy thickets!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Flowering Forsythias are deciduous shrubs that tolerate nearly all well-drained soil types and prefer full sun for best bloom, but Dwarf Forsythia will tolerate partial shade. Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis. Keep container plants well-hydrated, as well. Providing a good layer of mulch will help keep the root system cool and moist.
Prune right after flowering is done by either shearing down low or trimming to shape. Every 305 years, perform renewal pruning the largest, thickest canes out at ground level to keep your shrub rejuvenated and healthy. Deer don't prefer the taste. However, deer are hungry and curious. Apply repellent immediately after planting and reapply according to label directions.
- Blooms Best in Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Highly Adaptable to Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture & Fertility Needs
- Prune Immediately After Flowering
- Deer Seldom Bother Them
