Chaenomeles speciosa Nivalis Details

Chaenomeles speciosa Nivalis, commonly known as the Flowering Quince plant, 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 single, white 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 3 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 speciosa Nivalis is commonly included in mixed plantings, 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.
