Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: Choose a location in full sun to partial shade with average, well-drained soil. 1. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. 2. Set the plant crown (where the top meets the roots) 1-2” deep, make sure 4-5” of the top shows above the soil surface. 3. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Mulch may be applied to the root zone to maintain temperature. In early spring, apply a fertilizer high in phosphorus. Forsythia blooms on old wood so prune right after it has bloomed in the spring. Prune annually after flowering in mid-spring. Prune to remove dead or damaged branches and to thin out the oldest stems.
