Forsythia Show Off® Starlet® 3 Gallon

Forsythia x intermedia

Bright yellow, early spring flowers adorn this dwarf, extra small variety offering an improved display compared to older varieties. It produces flowers from the ground up, covering the plant all the way to the end of every stem. It also stay small and tight, so there is little need to prune. Show Off® Starlet® delivers the same strong display as the original Show Off®, though in an even smaller package. This plant makes for an excellent specimen plant for mixed borders and foundations. Plant in well-drained to moist, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune in mid-spring after blooming by thinning out crowded stems from center of the plant. Remove one or two old stems from the base to keep plant attractive and free flowering. Feed at least twice during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
