Grows well in any soil. Pruning has to be perfectly timed not to interfere with flowering. If you’d like to shape it, you can do so just after it finishes flowering in the springtime. Rejuvenation pruning is recommended. Cut 1\/3 of the old, thick branches down completely every three to five years. This will encourage the plant to create juvenile growth, which flowers most abundantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEnjoy free shipping on orders over $175\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSize at shipping varies by season, plant, and trimming schedules\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eQuart shrubs are 5-8 in. at the time of shipment\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1 Gallon shrubs are 6-24 in. at the time of shipment\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eShrubs shipped Nov-Apr will arrive dormant; shrubs shipped Apr-Oct will arrive green or in bloom\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/provenwinnersdirect.com\/blogs\/garden-resource-center\/proven-winners-direct-planning-a-garden-101\"\u003eRead our guide to get started with planning a garden\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proven Winners® ColorChoice®","offers":[{"title":"4.5\" Quart \/ Ships Now","offer_id":44291574464651,"sku":"FORPRC1037800","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0316\/4019\/1115\/files\/FORPRC103-CloseUp-1.jpg?v=1775240544","url":"https:\/\/provenwinnersdirect.com\/products\/show-off-forsythia","provider":"Proven Winners Direct™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
