Chaenomeles (Flowering Quince)

Chaenomeles (kee-NOM-uh-lees) which you may know as Flowering Quince, is a deciduous shrub prized for its stunning, early-spring blooms and attractive, thorny branches. The vibrant flowers, ranging in shades of red, pink, orange, and white, appear in early to midspring, before the foliage emerges, creating a striking display that will brighten up your landscape as winter wanes. Some varieties may produce small, yellow-green edible fruits in the fall, and are popularly used to make jams and jellies, however, unlike most varieties, our Double Take™ Chaenomeles are thornless and fruitless, thriving in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Highly drought-tolerant, once established, this low-maintenance, decorative shrub is ideal for borders, hedges, or as an eye-catching focal point in your landscape, providing early season color where none may exist.

At GrowJoy, we cultivate our Chaenomeles starter plants with care, using sustainable practices to ensure they are safe for your garden and beneficial to pollinators. Each plant is expertly nurtured to develop a strong root system, allowing it to establish quickly and to thrive in your garden. We guarantee that every Flowering Quince plant will arrive in excellent condition, ready to enhance your outdoor spaces with its whimsical blossoms and sweet honey-ish fragrance.
