Description
Forsythia Mikador is a very recent hybrid variety, obtained in France in 2012. An adundant plant and really easy to grow, it can undoubtedly find a place in all gardens, even the most modest ones. The shrub, low and very compact, is particularly floriferous, as its buds form regularly along its branches. This shrub therefore remains decorative for longer. It forms a slightly spreading and blooming mass of a thousand small sulphur yellow flowers from the beginning of spring, dazzling the garden like the first sun after a long winter. Hardy and very tolerant.
Forsythia x intermedia Mikador is a charming deciduous shrub belonging to the oleaceae family. Resulting from Minier research, it is descended from a hybrid of two species native to China, Forsythia suspensa and Forsythia viridissima. It will reach 50 cm (19.7 in) to 1m (3 ft 4 in) 50 in height with a spread of 1 to 2 m. It quickly forms a rounded bushy habit with well branched, slightly spreading and a very dense vegetation. Like other forsythias, it provides a wonderful spring spectacle in March, with its naked branches covered with numerous small bell-shaped flowers with soft and bright yellow petals and stamens. Flowering is followed by the appearance of deciduous foliage. Its long pointed leaves, 8 to 10 cm (3.1 to 3.9 in) long, are very dentate and have a beautiful glossy dark green colour.
Forsythia Mikador is hardy and very easy to maintain, it grows in all types of soil and in most of our climates. This variety is ideal for small spaces or small gardens. It also grows very well in pots, given its moderate size, as a specimen or in rockeries. It makes an excellent border plant in the company of Abelia grandiflora, the smoke bush or with mahonias or mock orange trees. It can be planted as a low and flowering hedge as its branches are quite low. In early December, cut a branch or two and put them in a vase, they will bloom for Christmas.

Planting and care
The Forsythia intermedia Mikador enjoys sunny position as well as partial shade. Plant it in any ordinary or even clay or limestone soil. After flowering, remove half or two-thirds of the height of the flowering branches to rejuvenate the shrub and ensure quality flowering in the following spring. For the first 3 years, simple removal of dead, thin or misplaced stems will suffice.

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.
