Description

The large double blooms of the Quince in the Double Take Series are unlike those of any other variety – plus, no thorns! Heralding the arrival of spring, the Double Take Scarlet Quince puts on a spectacular early spring display of rich, scarlet-red flowers on plants that produce no thorns or fruit. Cut branches are excellent for indoor flower arrangements. In late winter, when buds have formed on plants, just cut a branch and bring it indoors to force buds to open. Quince are hardy and long-lived plants that once established are exceptionally drought tolerant.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, the Scarlet Storm Flowering Quince is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings for eye-popping color in flowering shrub and landscape borders. Excellent companions are other early spring bloomers such as Forsythia, Tulip Tree Magnolias (tulip trees), Camellia Japonica, and Reeves Spirea. A fine addition to red theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Quince are exceptionally easy to grow. They adapt to most any type of moist but well-drained to somewhat dry soil, preferring a loamy soil. Flower production is best in full to mostly sun, however plants will tolerate part shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering. Plants are very drought tolerant when established. The flowers are born on old growth (last years branches) so wait to prune until after flowering.
