watering
Border forsythia prefers full sun and should be watered regularly, approximately once a week or when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. This plant does not require a lot of watering and does not like to be overwatered, as too much moisture can cause root rot. Make sure to always empty out any excess water from the bottom of the pot.
sunlight
Border forsythia (Forsythia intermedia 'Courdijau' GOLDEN PEEP) thrives best in bright, indirect sunlight for several hours each day. Daily sunshine of 4 to 6 hours ensures a healthy display of bright yellow flowers in Spring and lush green foliage throughout the growing season. If planted in an area with too little sunlight, plants can become leggy and less vibrant. Too much sun can burn the foliage, resulting in stunted growth and wilting.
pruning
Border forsythia (Forsythia intermedia ‘Courdijau’ GOLDEN PEEP) should be pruned in early spring, before the start of any new growth. Pruning should be relatively light, and mainly involve removing dead or damaged branches as well as thinning out the center of the shrub to create an open, airy shape. Be sure to make any large pruning cuts back to healthy buds or side branches to prevent an overly vigorous response. After a few years of light pruning, more major pruning can be done in early spring, every 3-5 years, to maintain the desired shape and size.
