Forsythia 'Week End' - Golden Bells 3 Litre Pot

Forsythia 'Week End'

A cheerful compact forsythia that heralds spring with an abundance of brilliant golden-yellow flowers, bringing sunshine to gardens when it's most welcome.

Seasonal Highlights

In early spring, bare branches become smothered in bright yellow bell-shaped flowers, creating a dazzling display. Fresh green leaves emerge as flowers fade, providing a lush backdrop through summer before turning soft yellow in autumn.

Key Features

• Compact bushy habit ideal for smaller spaces
• Masses of bright golden-yellow spring flowers
• Flowers on bare stems for maximum impact
• Easy to grow and fully hardy
• Tolerates a wide range of conditions

Perfect For

Excellent in mixed borders, as informal hedging, or in containers. Ideal for adding early spring colour to smaller gardens, courtyards, or as part of a spring-flowering shrub collection.

Growing Tips

Plant in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade; more flowers in sunnier positions. Tolerates most soil types including chalk. Prune immediately after flowering, removing oldest stems at the base to encourage new growth. Water during dry spells until established.

Looks Great With

Stunning with early spring bulbs such as Narcissus and Muscari, and underplanted with Pulmonaria or Primula. Combines well with Ribes sanguineum and early-flowering Spiraea.

A reliable and vibrant shrub that brings joyful golden colour to the early spring garden.
