Double Take™ Scarlet Storm Flowering Quince — Chaenomeles speciosa 'Scarlet Storm'

Double Take™ Scarlet Storm Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles speciosa 'Scarlet Storm', USPP 20,951) is a spectacular spring-flowering shrub that reimagines the classic flowering quince — producing a profusion of exceptionally large, fully double, deep red flowers all the way to the tips of every stem in early spring, then often reblooming again in fall, on a compact upright-rounded shrub with glossy dark green foliage that is both thornless and fruitless, making it far more garden-friendly than traditional flowering quinces. The Double Take™ series eliminates the thorns and messy hard fruit of old-fashioned quinces while dramatically improving flower size, doubleness, and overall ornamental impact. Drought tolerant once established in full to part sun with rich, well-drained soils. An outstanding choice for early spring color before most other shrubs have leafed out. Hardy to Zone 5.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Drought-tolerant once established. Thornless and fruitless. Prune after spring bloom if needed.
LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Foundation Plantings, Wildlife Gardens, Hedges, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Forsythia, Spirea, Ornamental Cherry
