How To Care
The Beatrix Farrand Forsythia is an easy to grow shrub that is drought, deer, pollution, and salt tolerant. It rarely has problems with pests and diseases. Plant in full to part sun. This shrub is very adaptable to soil conditions. Water deeply 1 - 2 times per week when newly planted. Once established, watering is only needed in periods of severe drought. Fertilize once per year in spring to promote the brightest colored flowers. Use a balanced, slow release fertilizer, like the one we carry. Prune after blooming is over to control size and shape. It is important to prune right after flowers have bloomed because flowers form on old wood. You can cut back old growth as far back as 4 inches to the ground.
