Description
The Abeliophyllum distichum Roseum, is a deciduous shrub that resembles a pink-flowered forsythia in its foliage and flowering, but is much less commonly used in our gardens despite its many qualities. Its small clusters of flowers exude a sweet scent reminiscent of almonds, a real pleasure in late winter. They bloom along the length of its brown and bare branches. It is no more difficult to cultivate than its cousin and offers superb autumn foliage as a bonus. This shrub appreciates the sun and adapts to any ordinary soil. It should be planted near the house to fully enjoy its fragrance at a time when the garden is still asleep.
The Korean Forsythia is a shrub belonging to the olive family. It is a particular form of Abeliophyllum distichum, whose flowers are pinker at blooming and retain their colouration for longer before fading to white. It is native to Eastern Asia, particularly central South Korea, where it has become very rare. The pink forsythia is a slow-growing shrub with an upright bushy habit, reaching 1.50m (5ft) to 2m (6.5ft) in all directions. It flowers at the end of winter, in February-March, on the previous year's branches and before the appearance of foliage. The small bell-shaped flowers, grouped in numerous clusters, are composed of 4 petals and emit an almond scent. Measuring 1.5cm (0.6in) in diameter, they are tender pink with a yellow-orange centre. They turn light brown at the end of flowering.
The Korean Abelia Roseum is a nectar-rich plant. Its foliage is deciduous and dark green turning reddish-purple in autumn. The leaves measure 8cm (3.1in) in length. They are arranged in two rows, hence the name distichum, from the Greek 'dis' meaning two and 'stikhos' meaning row.
Abeliophyllum distichum Roseum is very hardy and undemanding once well-established. It is best planted near the house to be admired from the inside. It blends well with a low hedge due to its modest size and natural appearance. Train it against a wall, where it will be at its best. It also fits well in the front row of a border with taller shrubs such as buddleias, lilacs, viburnums, smoke bushes, or amelanchiers. Cut a few branches in early December and place them in a vase, they will be in bloom by Christmas.

Planting and care
Korean Forsythia thrives in the sun or partial shade, sheltered from cold winds. You can train it against a wall, where it will be at its best. Grow in a dry to moist, well-drained soil. It is very tolerant and can thrive in both poor and rich soil. It does not like excessive moisture. In April-May, after flowering, prune all branches to ¼ of their length so that the plant produces new shoots at the base. The young bush can be quite weak, which is why it needs to be taken care of.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
