Forsythia is also a rare flower with strong cold-resistance and heat-resistance. The suitable growth temperature is generally between 13-25 degrees Celsius. When grown at such a temperature, Forsythia grows better. Forsythia can continue to grow in a high temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and can continue to survive at minus 10 degrees Celsius, which fully reflects the good vitality of Forsythia.

The leaves of Forsythia are opposite and ovate in shape. The flowers are golden yellow. They bloom first and then the leaves grow. The flowering time is from March to May every year. The fruit is a capsule, which is ovoid. It usually bears fruit in July and August and matures in October.

Forsythia Planting Time and Method

Forsythia is suitable for sowing in spring, which is early to mid-March in the south and early April in the north. You can dig a small hole in the soil, about 3 cm deep, choose plump, disease-free seeds, and sow 5-10 seeds in each hole. Cover the soil and press it slightly to make the seeds and soil closely combine. It usually blooms and bears fruit after 3 to 4 years.
