Chaenomeles Cameo

Chaenomeles Cameo Details

Chaenomeles Cameo, commonly known as Flowering Quince, is a hardy, deciduous shrub that features lovely flowers in winter. The shrub becomes an arching network of thorny branches with clusters of tight buds that open into double, soft apricot flowers at this time. The flowers are followed by ornamental fruits that look like small quinces. It carries fresh, green foliage from spring through autumn and typically grows to 1.5 m tall and the same wide. Best results are achieved when grown in full sun on a well-drained site and it is tolerant of frost and cold environments. Chaenomeles Cameo is commonly used as a filler, grown for floral art, as an informal hedge, or planted in clusters for a stunning display. It is an attractive and easy to grow plant that is very rewarding.
