The forsythia plants
The best time to plant this shrub is in the autumn, then the plant has until winter to root well. The forsythia is a strong shrub that only needs water in extreme heat and drought. Think of a period of 15-20 days. This shrub is a true lover of the sun and requires at least six hours a day in the spring and summer. The forsythia is also easy to take cuttings. Place a few young shoots in a pot of soil and if they take root, they will root within a few weeks. One possible problem with the shrub is that it is prone to rot, which is caused by bacteria. The leaves then turn brown and eventually even black. To save the forsythia, cut it back until you reach healthy wood.
