Planting & Care

A bushy, spreading deciduous shrub with glossy, rounded leaves that emerge with a red tinge.
Bears beautiful cup-shaped, red-orange flowers in spring, followed by fragrant yellow quinces in summer.
The edible fruits are perfect for making traditional quince jelly or membrillo.
An excellent choice for a mixed border, a casual hedge, or for training against a wall.
Awarded the RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' mark, it's a superb plant for attracting wildlife.
A fully hardy, heritage variety that also provides an intruder-proof barrier.

Species: Quince
Flowering Time: March to April
Harvest Time: July to October
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Any well-drained, fertile soil
Hardiness: Fully hardy (H6: -20 to -15°C)
Habit: Bushy and spreading
Flower Colour: Red-orange
Eventual Spread: 1-1.5m

Planting Time: November to March
Spacing: For hedging, plant 3 per metre. As a specimen shrub, allow 1m spacing.
Watering: Water well after planting and during dry spells for the first year.
Feeding: Not required; this low-maintenance plant gets nutrients from the soil.
Pruning: Prune after flowering. Cut back flowered shoots to strong buds and remove approximately one-quarter of the old shoots at the base to promote new growth.
Pest & Disease: Good resistance, but may occasionally be affected by brown scale, aphids or fireblight.
Growth Rate: Average, growing 30-60cm per year.
