watering
Border Forsythia should be watered deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. When watering the plant, be sure to soak the root zone. Each week, provide the plant with approximately 1 inch of water. During extended periods of hot, dry weather, the plant should be given even more water. Always avoid overwatering, as too much water can cause waterlogged soil, which can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Border forsythia (Forsythia intermedia 'Arnold Giant') will need full sun to help it thrive. This means it should get a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight a day to promote healthy growth. However, it can tolerate partial shade, especially during the hottest parts of the day. If you live in a hot climate, you may want to provide some afternoon shade to keep this plant from becoming scorched. Additionally, you'll need to ensure the plant is receiving regular irrigation to keep its soil consistently moist.
pruning
It is best to prune border forsythia (Forsythia intermedia 'Arnold Giant') just after it has finished blooming. This is typically in late spring after it has had a chance to flower. It is best to remove about 1-third of the length of the main stems in order to encourage a fairly dense and compact shrub. You can also selectively prune away a few of the older stems at ground level, again to encourage the growth of younger stems that will have more flowers. Avoid over-pruning, as it can promote leggy growth and decrease flowering.
