Double Take™ ‘Scarlet Storm’ Quince

Look for this plant

Double Take™ ‘Scarlet Storm’ Quince Chaenomeles speciosa

This is the second spring for this shrub in my garden. I prune it right after it blooms.

The first year you plant a shrub, there’s not much to say about it. This is the second spring the Scarlet Storm has bloomed in my yard. In coming years, I expect this Quince to be  even more beautiful. It can get up to 4 feet tall and wide.

There is good planting advice on the Hub Page link: Double Take™ ‘Scarlet Storm’ Quince Chaenomeles speciosa

If you go to the expense of buying a perennial shrub, dedicate some time to getting it off to a good start. Plant it properly and keep it well watered. Once your shrub is well established, it requires very little attention.
