Description
The Forsythia x intermedia 'Forbeesia' is a deciduous bush remarkable for its early, abundant, nectar-rich and pollen-rich flowering. This melliferous plant, which blooms as early as March, is particularly beneficial for bees and other pollinating insects at the beginning of the season. Versatile and easy to maintain, this forsythia is ideal for bringing life to the garden or terrace. Hardy and undemanding, it forms a large, radiant bush that has its place in a small flowering hedge. Wonderful in the garden, its flowering will also be very beautiful in vases in winter or spring bouquets.
The Forsythia intermedia 'Forbeesia' belongs to the Oleaceae family. This cultivar is the result of a cross-breeding carried out by Heinje Baumschulen nursery in Germany. The bush generally reaches 3 to 4 m in height and about 2 to 3 m in width. Its habit is upright, spreading and loose, and its growth is rapid. Its bell-shaped flowers, of a brilliant golden yellow, appear from March to May and emit a sweet fragrance. In autumn, its foliage turns yellow-orange, adding a touch of colour to the garden. This deciduous foliage is absent in winter.
This 'Forbeesia' Forsythia is perfectly hardy, undemanding and very easy to maintain, it grows in any type of sufficiently deep soil and under most of our climates. This beautiful bush lends itself to various uses: in a flowerbed, in a free hedge, or in a container on a terrace. Its flowering branches are also very decorative in a vase. At its base, you can plant botanical tulips or early single tulips in a mix, daffodils, hyacinths or primroses. Among the bushes that can accompany it, Japanese quince (Chaenomeles), early white broom (Cytisus praecox 'Albus') and kerrias (Kerria) take pride of place. These combinations allow for the creation of harmonious and ecologically beneficial scenes, attracting and nourishing pollinating insects from the beginning of spring.

Planting and care
The Forsythia intermedia 'Forbeesia' enjoys a sunny exposure, but tolerates partial shade (especially in our hottest and sunniest regions). Place it in any ordinary soil, even clay or limestone, deep enough and loosened, enriched with compost at planting. After flowering, you can optionally remove half or two-thirds of the height of the flowering branches to rejuvenate the bush and ensure a quality flowering the following spring. During the first 3 years, simply cleaning dead, thin or misplaced stems will be enough.

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.
