When planning out your garden this year one plant you might want to consider adding is some Flowering Quince Crimson and Gold, scientific name of Chaenomeles x superba. This low-growing, flowering shrub yields gorgeous 2-inch wide crimson-petaled yellow-centered flowers in abundance starting in early spring and tart and tasty berries in fall. When full grown it can be as much as five feet wide and three feet high and its dense, thorny branches can make a good border for keeping out smaller pests. Flowering quince grows well in zones 5 through 9 so it should be a winner in most parts of the United States. It prefers moist, well drained soil of an average or loamy consistency yet is also drought and heat tolerant. It grows best when given full sun and ships in a trade gallon container. Park Seed is currently offering flowering quince for fall shipping at just $9.95 per plant. This price drops to just $8.95 per plant if you buy at least three at once (a 10% discount) and $8.50 per plant if you buy six or more at once (about a 15% discount), a pretty fair deal. GET IT NOW!
