Description
Forsythia Plant is Loved by Gardeners and Plant Enthusiasts
There are several different species of forsythia, but they’re generally all referred to under the collective forsythia plant name, and they all share many of the same traits.
Forsythia shrubs feature long, slender branches with small bright green leaves. The branches either stand tall or arch, giving the plant its graceful, weeping appearance. When in bloom, the plants produce many small yellow flowers, each with four petals. The flowers, which occur in early spring, usually before most other plants have bloomed, appear before the leaves, so they stand out. Forsythia varies in size, but typically grow to between eight and ten feet tall, and have a spread of between ten and twelve feet.
Forsythia Plant Shrubs are Incredibly Hardy and Proliferate
While maturing, during the growing season this plant can gain two feet in height. Forsythia is tolerant of a variety of different conditions, including various soil conditions and alkalinity. However, these plants grow best in soil that drains well and is rich in organic material. They are also drought resistant, although, in ideal conditions, two inches of water per week is suggested. Also, forsythia prefers full sun. Four to six hours of full sunlight per day will help the plant produce more blooms. These shrubs, which are native to Asia and Europe, grow very well in the US hardiness zone 5 through 8.
Forsythia Plant is a significant shrub that produces bright, cheerful blooms
Because of its size and color, forsythia is excellent for use as a hedge, or in any blank spot that needs a pop of color. It is recommended that the shrubs are planted four to six feet apart, to allow for growing room. After blooming, forsythia can be pruned to reduce a leggy appearance and maintain their naturally round shape. Forsythia Plant is loved by all.
