Forsythia x intermedia Nimbus
Planted this autumn, very shy flowering, probably too young a young plant, despite that the flowers are a very beautiful golden yellow. Next year, it should be much more abundant and lovely...

Description
Forsythia 'Nimbus' is part of a new series of Forsythias x intermedia developed by Minier. This recent particularly compact bush, truly easy to grow, offers an early and generous flowering. It forms an erect and dense bush, which is covered from the beginning of winter with a multitude of yellow flowers. With its reduced size and its golden bush appearance, it is ideal for ornamenting small spaces and rockeries, but also for container gardening. It allows you to play with the staggered flowering, in association with other varieties or with other spring-flowering shrubs.
Forsythia x intermedia 'Nimbus'® is an adorable deciduous shrub belonging to the olive family. It descends from a spontaneous hybrid resulting from two species native to China, Forsythia suspensa and Forsythia viridissima. It will reach, after at least ten years of cultivation, 50cm (19.7in) to 1m (3ft 4in) in height with a spread of 75cm, showing from the start an erect bushy habit, and a very stocky growth. Like other forsythias, but before certain varieties like 'Boucle d'Or', it provides a true spring spectacle in March, covering its naked branches with countless small bell-shaped flowers with an orange throat, adorned with bright yellow petals and stamens, tightly packed together, giving them a golden feather-like appearance. The flowering is followed by the appearance of deciduous foliage. Its long pointed leaves, 8 to 10cm (3.1 - 3.9in) long, are highly toothed and have a beautiful shiny dark green colour. Resistant variety to phytophthora.
Forsythia 'Nimbus' is perfectly hardy and very easy to maintain, it requires little to no pruning, grows in all types of soil and under most climates. It can be grown in pots, given its moderate size, as well as in isolation, rockeries or bordering flower beds, especially in the company of the 'Pink Sparkler' spirea, the 'Bloomerang Purple' lilac or Mahonias or Abelia 'Sunny Charm'. 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
Forsythia x intermedia 'Nimbus'® enjoys a sunny exposure as well as partial shade. Place it in any ordinary soil, even clay or limestone, deep enough and loosened. After flowering, remove half or two-thirds of the height of the flowering branches to rejuvenate the bush and ensure quality flowering the following spring. For the first 3 years, a simple cleaning 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.
