watering
The Borders Forsythia (Forsythia intermedia 'Kolgold' MAGICAL GOLD) should be watered regularly to ensure its health and best blooms. During the growing season, it should be watered once a week with about 1-2 inches of water each time. In the fall, reduce the watering schedule to about every 2 weeks and in the winter, water sparingly, especially if the ground is frozen. In very dry conditions, the Border Forsythia should be watered more frequently to prevent the leaves and stems from drying out. If the soil is clay-like, it is best to avoid over watering. A deep soaking followed by a good draining period will help ensure healthy roots and prevent waterlogged soil.
sunlight
Border Forsythia (Forsythia intermedia 'Kolgold' MAGICAL GOLD) prefers full sun for best blooms. This plant should receive between 5-6 hours of direct sun per day, preferably during either the early morning or late afternoon. Avoid planting Border Forsythia in areas that get too much sun during the day, as it can be susceptible to heat and sunburn. Make sure to provide adequate water for optimal growth and bloom cycle.
pruning
Border forsythia should be pruned once per year, typically in late winter/early spring (February/March) before the new growth appears. Pruning should be limited to light shaping to encourage air circulation and to remove any dead or diseased stems. Stems can be cut just above a bud and should be pruned to no more than 1-third of their length.
