Description
Texas Scarlet Flowering Quince is a compact shrub that lights up Massachusetts gardens with hot-red flowers each spring. This early bloomer provides a burst of color on bare branches before the dark green foliage emerges. Known for its long-lasting floral display, it's a reliable and eye-catching choice for garden borders.
Unlike some flowering quinces, Texas Scarlet Flowering Quince produces small yellow fruit in the fall. While the fruit may require some cleanup, it can also be used for preserves. With its rounded growth habit and vibrant blooms, this shrub is an excellent option for adding seasonal interest to local landscapes.
