Description

Forsythia intermedia ‘Minigold’ has the same spectacular yellow flower displays in early spring as other varieties, but in a naturally compact, low-maintenance form.

Reaching only 120cm in height and width when mature, this stunning ornamental shrub is perfect for patio pots and smaller garden beds and borders in a sunny or semi-shaded spot, and produces a burst of lightly scented, yellow star-shaped flowers in March and April, before many other garden plants wake up.

After flowering, its branches will become covered in mid-green leaves.

This hardy shrub is easy to grow and needs little pruning, so is ideal for anyone who wants maximum impact with minimum effort. It is one of the easiest and most rewarding shrubs to grow.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot ready for planting in a pot or in your garden.

Top Tips
  • Plant into a decorative container for best effect.
  • For the best flowers, feed and water Forsythia 'Minigold' plants regularly until fully established.

 

Care Information
  • In late spring, after flowering has finished, prune by cutting back all flowered shoots to a healthy pair of leaves.
  • Apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or other organic matter around the base of the plant after pruning.
  • Container-grown plants will need an annual dressing with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser combined with regular watering.
  • On established forsythia plants, cut back up to a fifth of the oldest shoots to their base, to encourage robust new growth and to improve flowering.

 

Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
