🌼 Forsythia
Forsythia × intermedia
The first yellow blaze of spring, forsythia blooms in March-April on last year's wood. Plant in winter and prune as soon as the flowers fade, never later.

The tips that matter
- Prune right after flowering, removing a third of the oldest stems at the base: pruned in summer or winter, it will not bloom.
- Its bloom is the garden's best calendar: forsythia in flower = time to prune the roses.
- Rejuvenate dense clumps by cutting stems older than 4 years right at ground level.
