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 Pink Quince puts on a spectacular early spring display of deep rose pink 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 Pink Storm Flowering Quince is an ideal choice as a specimen or in groupings for eye-popping color in flowering shrub borders. Excellent companions are other early spring bloomers such as Forysthia, Tulip Tree Magnolias (tulip trees), Camellia Japonica, and Reeves Spirea.

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

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Quince variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy growing it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

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.
