Product Description
Considered one of the best red flowering quince, Texas Scarlet is a must-have for the early spring garden. A deciduous shrub with a spreading habit, it produces scarlet red, cup-shaped flowers with prominent creamy anthers both in clusters and singly from March to May. In autumn, green or yellow fruits are produced which is ideal if you're interested in making quince jelly. The glossy, obovate, mid-green leaves provide a contrasting backdrop for the showy red blooms, which bring an air of orient al elegance to any space. This fabulous Japanese quince is perfect for training against a wall or fence in full sun or partial shade. 9cm pot plants supplied.
