Forsythia × intermedia 'Goldrausch'
forsythia goldrush
Forsythias are one of the most striking plants in the spring garden when their bare branches are smothered with bloom. 'Goldrausch' stands out from the rest with its abundance of larger than average flowers. It is a must-have for early colour in the shrub border and is also good for hedging, or training flat against a wall if space is tight.
Reliable and easy to grow, this deciduous shrub will not disappoint with its impressive display.

How to care for Forsythia × intermedia Goldrausch:
Plant in well-drained soil and a sunny or lightly shaded spot, where it will establish quickly and give the best display of spring flowers. Water regularly during dry spells in the first year to help roots settle, and mulch in spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
After flowering, prune by removing one or two of the oldest stems right back to the base to encourage strong new growth. Thin out any congested shoots from the centre to improve airflow, and cut back flowered shoots to a healthy bud to keep the shrub neat and compact.
