Abeliophyllum distichum

Description

A beautiful plant which is native to central Korea, Abeliophyllum distichum has clusters of very fragrant, creamy white flowers which emerge in late winter or early spring. Although rather untidy and lax if grown in a border, Abeliophyllum will grow as a tasteful, tidy plant when trained against a sunny wall or fence, where it will also flower much more freely than would do in the open!

Features

  • Common name: White Forsythia.
  • Position: Full sun or light, partial shade.
  • Soil: Any fertile soil.
  • Hardiness: Reasonably hardy. Abeliophyllum distichum may require protection from late spring frosts as a young plant once the young leaves emerge in spring until it becomes established.
  • Flowering Period: February
  • Flower Colour: Creamy white
  • Rate of Growth: Moderate.
  • Habit: Small to medium sized shrub with an open, spreading form if untrained. Abeliophyllum distichum will grow a little larger when planted against a sunny wall.
    • Height: 1.5 m (5 ft)
    • Spread: 1.5 m (5 ft)
  • Pruning: Prune after flowering to encourage new growth & assist in the formation of flowering wood for the following year.
  • Notes: An exciting plant for flowering interest very early in the year! The common name refers to the fact that it blooms at the same time as Forsythia, with flowers of a similar shape and it is in fact an unrelated plant.
  • Supplied Size: 3L containers
