White Forsythia
My order has arrived safely, it was very well prepared and packaged in a box. As soon as they were received, the forsythias were planted in the ground as they should be, with a tapetum of dead leaves at their feet to get through the winter. The weather is mild and sunny, so I hope they will recover as best as possible; the final judgment will be in February/March 2025 to truly know if they will sprout again. Thank you.

Description
The Korean white Forsythia or Abeliophyllum distichum is a low-growing bush. This shrub has the distinctiveness of flowering 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, consist of 4 petals and give off an almond scent. Measuring 1.5 cm (0.6 in) in diameter, they are white with a yellow-orange heart. They turn light brown at the end of flowering.
The Korean Abelia is melliferous. Its foliage is deciduous. Dark green in colour, it becomes purple-red in autumn. The leaves measure 8 cm (3.1 in) long. They are arranged in two rows, hence the name distichum, from the Greek 'dis' two and 'stikhos' row. The white Forsythia grows slowly and can reach 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) in all directions. It is very hardy and originates from South Korea.
The Abeliophyllum distichum thrives well as a low hedge due to its small size. It also grows particularly well when trained against a wall. It can fit well in the front of a border. Cut some branches in early December and place them in a vase, they will be in bloom for Christmas.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
