This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

I have this in a pot on the patio and it flowered well towards the end of the summer, but then with the very mild autumn/early winter it got a bit confused and flowered again. Nice to have a bright splash of colour in an otherwise dull area.

Forsythia with its abundant sunny yellow sprays is a wonderful shrub to brighten dull days in early Spring. It is very reliable and should be pruned after flowering so it can develop

I bought this as my boyfriend loves the colour and its usually the first to flower, signaling the end of winter. The plant was in good condition, and has survived a particularly cold winter. The pretty yellow flowers are a welcome sight. Put it somewhere you can see it from inside as it flowers before you are spending much time outside enjoying it.

I have a spot in my garden where no shrub will survive no matter how hard I try. My neighbour suggested Forsythia and how right she was. It is thriving and about to burst into flower this Spring. Sadly, no wildlife value but it will probably be a good support for Summer climber.

We have bought many plants from Crocus and they are always excellent.

Hello There, There are a number of reasons why plants don't flower including too much shade, not enough water or nutrients, or pruning at the wrong time of the year. I am not really sure why yours has not produced buds, but you can often give them a bit of a push by feeding with a high potash fertiliser. I'm sorry not to be more help. Helen Plant Doctor
