Description

Bringing one of the earliest and most uplifting displays of the season, Forsythia 'Mikador' bursts into flower just as winter begins to fade.

Its branches are smothered in golden-yellow blooms before a single leaf emerges, creating a vibrant spectacle that breathes life into any outdoor space.

Reaching around 1m in height and spread, this compact shrub is perfect for smaller garden spaces, patio containers, or mixed borders. Its naturally bushy habit provides excellent coverage, whether grown as a low hedge or as a stand-alone feature.

Hardy and resistant to disease, 'Mikador' thrives in various soil conditions and easily withstands harsh winter temperatures.

Supplied as an established plant in an 8cm pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • For the best flowers, feed and water Forsythia 'Nimbus' plants regularly until fully established.
  • Must be pruned after flowering to allow the new branches to grow as it is these that will flower the following year on old wood
Care Information
  • In late spring after flowering has finished, prune 'Nimbus' back 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
