About Flowering, Quince Seed
Bare branches burst into clusters of bright red, orange-red and pink blossoms on Flowering Quince, one of the first shrubs to bloom in spring. Chaenomeles speciosa forms a dense, twiggy, spreading shrub with thorny stems that make an excellent barrier hedge. Fragrant, greenish-yellow fruit follows in fall and can be cooked into jellies and preserves. Tough, cold hardy and adaptable to many soils, it brings a cheerful burst of color to borders, hedgerows and cottage gardens.
