How to Use Show Off® Forsythia in the Landscape

Forsythia is an investment in happiness. Measure your planting space to ensure it has enough room to grow into its full height and spread.

Don't make more pruning work for yourself by planting in a small that is too tight. If you need to keep them smaller, try them in a large outdoor container.

For a high-impact look, line your driveway or property line with a long hedge. Spacing plants three feet apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next.

Plan a mass planting to fill open ground on commercial properties. Can you imagine how much attention your business will receive in spring?

Simply add additional staggered rows in a zigzagging pattern, and mulch between plants. Keep new mass displays weeded until the plants grow together and touch.

With its sturdy, upright rounded form, Show Off looks good all year. Add one by the back garden gate or at the corner of your foundation planting.

Use it where you'll see it from inside the house or deck. Create a "vista" for yourself with a new mulched island bed in the lawn.

Plant three in an informal triangle for a natural look. Underplant with spring-flowering bulbs to amplify the springtime impact, then layer in smaller shrubs like Goldflame Spirea and Invincibelle Limetta® Hydrangea for summer color.

Add to a diversified slope plantings as an accent. You'll punctuate the overall look with bold springtime color.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant your Show Off Forsythia shrubs in full sun or partial shade. You'll get the best flowering with more sun, and they'll need at least four hours of direct sunlight a day.

Give them well-drained soil that sheds water quickly after a rainfall. If needed, mound up an elevated planting site with additional soil 18 inches high by three feet wide. Plant in that mound.

Prune right after flowering is done. Every so often, prune the largest, thickest canes out at ground level to keep your shrub rejuvenated and healthy.

Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis. Keep container plants well-hydrated, as well. Mulch will help keep the root system cool and moist.

Deer don't prefer the taste. However, deer are hungry and curious. Apply repellent when you plant, and reapply according to label directions.
