Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This shrub performs best in full sun, meaning at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily. While it can handle partial shade, you will notice fewer flowers and a more leggy growth habit if it does not get enough sun.
  • Soil: Choose a spot with well-drained soil that does not stay soggy after a rain. If you have heavy clay, mix in some organic compost at planting time to improve drainage, as "wet feet" can lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your forsythia two or three times a week to help the roots get deep into the soil. Once the plant is mature and established, it is quite drought tolerant and usually only needs supplemental water during long dry spells in the summer. If you neglect watering during a drought, the plant might look wilted and produce fewer flower buds for the following year.

Pruning Tips

Spring Glory Forsythia blooms on old wood, which means the flower buds for next year are set shortly after this year's flowers fade. You should prune the branches immediately after the yellow blooms drop so you do not accidentally cut off next year's display. Use a thinning technique by cutting one third of the oldest, thickest canes down to the ground every year to keep the center open and the plant looking youthful.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as the new leaves begin to emerge. This gives the plant the energy it needs to grow new wood for future flowers. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer or fall because this encourages soft, green growth that will be easily damaged by the first hard frost of winter.
