Experience the captivating beauty of Chaenomeles speciosa, commonly known as Flowering Quince. This striking deciduous shrub from the Rosacea family promises a spectacular early spring display that will enhance any southern home garden. Native to China, Tibet, and Myanmar, Flowering Quince is renowned for its profuse scarlet-red blooms, appearing from late March to April, offering a vibrant splash of color before the leaves fully emerge. It typically grows 6-10 feet tall, with tangled, spiny branches that create a dense, broad-rounded silhouette, making it an excellent choice for hedges or informal borders.

This hardy, salt-tolerant plant thrives in well-drained soil with medium moisture, preferring full sun for optimal flowering, though it can adapt to partial shade. It boasts lustrous dark green leaves that accentuate its beauty throughout the growing season. Beyond its visual appeal, the Flowering Quince produces yellowish-green quince fruits, excellent for making preserves and jellies. Prune in spring to stimulate flowering spurs, ensuring a breathtaking bloom the following year. Bring the timeless charm of Chinese Flowering Quince to your garden—a showcase of resilience, versatility, and natural splendor.
