Plant received in early October. Weak and spindly, with 2 main branches broken in transit, but the roots were rather good. Planted straight away, it took a while to produce its buds and did not flower at the start of this year, so it is impossible to know if it is the right colour, or even the right plant. Rather disappointed with this first attempt at buying plants by mail order. I hope to see it flower next year.

More information

This abeliophyllum is a deciduous bush resembling a pink-flowered forsythia exuding an aroma reminiscent of almonds and blooming in late winter on its brown and bare branches. Unjustly overlooked, it is no more difficult to cultivate than its cousin and offers superb autumn foliage as a bonus. It can be used in the same way, as a hedge or in a group composed of flowering bushes.

Description

The Abeliophyllum distichum Roseum, is a deciduous shrub that resembles a pink-flowered forsythia in its foliage and flowering, but is much less commonly used in our gardens despite its many qualities. Its small clusters of flowers exude a sweet scent reminiscent of almonds, a real pleasure in late winter. They bloom along the length of its brown and bare branches. It is no more difficult to cultivate than its cousin and offers superb autumn foliage as a bonus. This shrub appreciates the sun and adapts to any ordinary soil. It should be planted near the house to fully enjoy its fragrance at a time when the garden is still asleep.

The Korean Forsythia is a shrub belonging to the olive family. It is a particular form of Abeliophyllum distichum, whose flowers are pinker at blooming and retain their colouration for longer before fading to white. It is native to Eastern Asia, particularly central South Korea, where it has become very rare. The pink forsythia is a slow-growing shrub with an upright bushy habit, reaching 1.50m (5ft) to 2m (6.5ft) in all directions. It flowers at the end of winter, in February-March, on the previous year's branches and before the appearance of foliage. The small bell-shaped flowers, grouped in numerous clusters, are composed of 4 petals and emit an almond scent. Measuring 1.5cm (0.6in) in diameter, they are tender pink with a yellow-orange centre. They turn light brown at the end of flowering.

The Korean Abelia Roseum is a nectar-rich plant. Its foliage is deciduous and dark green turning reddish-purple in autumn. The leaves measure 8cm (3.1in) in length. They are arranged in two rows, hence the name distichum, from the Greek 'dis' meaning two and 'stikhos' meaning row.

Abeliophyllum distichum Roseum is very hardy and undemanding once well-established. It is best planted near the house to be admired from the inside. It blends well with a low hedge due to its modest size and natural appearance. Train it against a wall, where it will be at its best. It also fits well in the front row of a border with taller shrubs such as buddleias, lilacs, viburnums, smoke bushes, or amelanchiers. Cut a few branches in early December and place them in a vase, they will be in bloom by Christmas.

Forsythia : planting, pruning and care

Read article

The <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/shrubs/shrubs-by-variety/forsythia.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forsythia, also known as the Paris Mimosa</a>, heralds the arrival of spring, from March onwards, and undoubtedly brightens up a dull hedge or border. This sunny bush is valued for its generous golden yellow flowering that leaves little room for leaves, among the first to illuminate the garden after the long winter slumber. Today, there are numerous cultivars and hybrids, including the essential Forsythia x intermedia, which comes in many varieties such as Forsythia 'Marée d'Or'. Although it is sometimes confused with Abeliophyllum distichum and its cultivar 'Roseum', or Korean red forsythia, the forsythia remains, despite hybridization, a bush with yellow flowers. The foliage of forsythia, generally deciduous, can be as spectacular as the flowering in certain species, with leaves variegated in yellow, green, or cream. Its upright and graceful silhouette and moderate size allow for numerous uses in all gardens, from the most naturalistic to the wildest, even the most modest. Whether planted as a solitary specimen, in a flowering hedge, free or trimmed, as ground cover in a rockery, in a pot, or in a border, this very hardy bush down to -20°C will reveal its splendour as soon as the beautiful season returns. Graphical and dazzling, its bare branches dotted with small yellow flowers are also appreciated for making bouquets as soon as winter is over. Accommodating and very easy to grow, it thrives in full sun or partial shade and grows anywhere in well-drained soil. Robust, original, space-saving, and very tolerant, discover <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/shrubs/shrubs-by-variety/forsythia.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our forsythias</a> and adopt this essential bush for spring scenes without delay! [caption id="attachment_35940" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]<img class="size-large wp-image-35940" src="https://www.promessedefleurs.com/blogwp/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/forsythia-floraison-print-1024x682.jpg" alt="Forsythia, spring flowering" width="1024" height="682" /> Sometimes considered mundane by some gardeners, forsythia offers a remarkable early flowering.[/caption]

Planting and care

Korean Forsythia thrives in the sun or partial shade, sheltered from cold winds. You can train it against a wall, where it will be at its best. Grow in a dry to moist, well-drained soil. It is very tolerant and can thrive in both poor and rich soil. It does not like excessive moisture. In April-May, after flowering, prune all branches to ¼ of their length so that the plant produces new shoots at the base. The young bush can be quite weak, which is why it needs to be taken care of.
