Forsythia 'Flojor'
- Horticulturalists cherish this forsythia for its an absolute profusion of vivid yellow, bell-shaped blooms. It provides a stunning focal point for your outdoor space.
- Structurally, Forsythia 'Flojor' presents a vigorous, upright, and densely branching growth habit. Furthermore, its deciduous, lance-shaped leaves appearing after the floral show provides brilliant visual interest even when not in flower.
- It settles down quickly and vigorously when placed in almost any garden soil, thriving best when placed in full sun. Despite its highly ornamental appearance, it is reassuringly robust and easy to care for in the UK.
- Ecology meets elegance, as Forsythia 'Flojor' reliably attracts early spring bees desperately seeking their first nectar all year round. This makes it a fantastic, compact variety for smaller garden spaces.
- It carries a fascinating legacy: forsythia is named after William Forsyth, a prominent Scottish botanist. Today, it remains one of the most iconic, reliable harbingers of spring in British horticulture.
