Abeliophyllum distichum - White Forsythia

  Korean Abelia is drought-tolerant. It prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. While this plant does not tolerate wet conditions, it is adaptable to many soil types.  Prune immediately after flowering because flower buds develop on the current year's growth. Korean Abelia can be severely pruned every few years to reduce a ragged appearance. It does well to be planted in groups so the blooms can be enjoyed.  Type: Deciduous shrub Zone: 5 to 8 Height: 3.00 to 5.00 feet Spread: 3.00 to 4.00 feet Bloom Time: March to April Bloom Description: White, sometimes with a pink tinge Sun: Full sun to part shade Water: Medium Maintenance: Low Suggested Use: Hedge Flower: Showy, Fragrant, Good Cut
