Early to flower and about as tough as a plant comes Chaenomeles are a real delight in the dark winter days. Flowering in the toughest of weathers and unaffected by late frosts the flowers stand tough in the harshest winter conditions.
Of note are the following selection from the options we hold in stock;
Mango Storm. Worth a look just for the name alone. Part of the Proven Winners range held in stock. Double soft orange flowers emerge in winter and early spring. This thornless plant will repeat flower in the summer too. Frost resistant to -25C
Nivalis. Probably my favourite flowering quince due to the pure white flowers. The large white flowers are produced in late winter / early spring and are followed by yellow quince like fruits.
Scarlet Storm. Part of the Proven Winners range held in stock. Abundant large double red flowers emerge in winter and early spring. This thornless plant will repeat flower in the summer too. Frost resistant to -25C
Jet Trail. Another white flowering option with a dense, low spreading habit quite different from the above. Large single pure white flowers in late winter / early spring. Can be used as a ground cover plant.
All Chaenomeles are easy to grow and respond well to pruning which should be carried out after flowering.
