Planting & Care

Plant your bare root forsythia as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the spread of the roots and deep enough so the crown sits at or slightly above soil level. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to encourage establishment. Once established, forsythia is drought-tolerant and requires minimal care. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and promote new growth.
