More Information

Description A forsythia blooming in spring is just the thing to make a winter-weary heart sing. But don't settle for any run-of-the-mill forsythia: get Show Off forsythia (Forsythia x) from Proven Winners. This extraordinary variety was selected for its uncanny ability to create dense flower clusters along the entire length of the stem, so it looks like fluffy plumes of gold in the landscape. This full sized (5-6' tall and wide) plant is ideal for planting as a hedge or eye-catching specimen. If you need something that takes up less room, check out the rest of the Show Off series for some space-saving dwarf options. Forsythia aren't just beautiful harbingers of spring - they're also super durable landscape plants, readily growing in difficult soils, even clay. They are unbothered by deer and rabbits and can even grow in shade (though do note that if plants get fewer than four hours of sun, flowering will not be as spectacular). Details How To Grow

Excited for next spring!

By the time the plant arrived it was past its bloom time so I’m looking forward to seeing it in it’s best season. It arrived healthy and am happy with the size of it. So far it’s remaining healthy in its new home!

One lived, one died

Only one of the two I ordered lived. It is doing fine considering the amount of rain we have received. Looking forward to seeing it in bloom next year.

Hi Mary,
We apologize that some of the plants you received are not up to our standards.

Please email pictures of the plants to claims@greatgardenplants.com, making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible. Rest assured, we have a 60-day guarantee on all our plants. If you received your plants within that timeframe, we would be happy to apply your warranty once we receive the pictures. Happy Gardening!

Poor and weak plants sent!

Order of 5 plants only two survived, this being one that didn't. The plant that was sent was so small and just looked like a weed that was pulled out of the ground. I though I could get it to survive but of course it tried to but didn't make it. After the fact that it was past the 60 days, they won't do anything except they want me to repay and they will send me another one. I do not recommend them, the product is not always consistent. This was my second order to them, place another one I don't think so!

Hello! Thank you for leaving us feedback. Our plant sizes do vary widely depending on the variety you purchased and the time of year. The important thing when it comes to purchasing plants, whether online or in a garden center, is that they have a full, robust root system, and that's what we prioritize in our growing. The more roots a plant has, the more energy it can put into growing once it is planted in your garden.

Do you have any photos of the plant and it's roots when you first received the plant? We take pride in the plants that we ship and would like to know more about the state of the plant when it arrived to you.

Happy Gardening!
