Forsythia int. Nimbus 2 Ltr pot

Forsythia × intermedia ‘Nimbus’ is a deciduous shrub celebrated for its bright yellow flowers that appear on bare stems in early spring (usually March to April), bringing reliable seasonal colour to Irish gardens. It performs best in full sun to light shade and in most moderately fertile, moist but well‑drained soils, including those over chalk, and is fully hardy. A dependable choice for mixed borders and informal hedges; prune immediately after flowering to encourage the strong new shoots that carry next year’s blooms.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
