This hybrid mix offers a range of flower colors, typically in shades of red, pink, orange, and white, adding vibrant interest to the late winter and early spring landscape. The plants form dense, spreading shrubs with glossy green leaves and attractive, apple-like fruits later in the season, making them a versatile choice for mixed borders, hedges, and specimen plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlowering quince works well as a flowering hedge, in foundation plantings, or as a standalone accent in the garden. The blooms provide an early nectar source for pollinators, while the small, fragrant fruits can be used in preserves and jellies once fully ripe. These shrubs tolerate a range of soil conditions and are relatively low-maintenance once established, rewarding growers with reliable spring color year after year. They can also be trained against walls or grown in large containers where space is limited.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Chaenomeles hybrid\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Mixed\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous flowering shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Dense, spreading, multi-stemmed\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, moderately fertile\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 21-60 days with cold stratification\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, lightly cover, keep moist\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 3-5 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Blooms appear on previous year's growth; prune after flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663246196872,"sku":"EXGA-755","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_d87f522f-6f31-414d-9bd3-c874c15c5cb0.png?v=1791896197","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-chaenomeles-hybrid-mix-flowering-quince-deciduous-shrub-ornamental-garden-plant","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
