One of the earliest bloomers of the season, Flowering Quince is an absolute showstopper just when we need it most—bursting into bloom before the leaves even emerge! Whether you choose classic red, coral, white, or blush pink varieties, these blooms are a beacon of spring’s arrival.

​

🌿 Why We Love Flowering Quince:

✔️ Tough and adaptable – Drought-tolerant once established and thrives in poor soils
✔️ Deer-resistant and low maintenance – Perfect for naturalistic or cottage gardens
✔️ Blooms in late winter to early spring – Brings color before most plants even wake up
✔️ Can be used as a hedge, specimen, or espalier
✔️ Some varieties even produce small, aromatic fruits that can be used in jellies and preserves

​

🌸 Fun fact: Flowering Quince has a long history in Asian gardens as a symbol of renewal and good fortune, and its thorny branches were often used in hedgerows to keep out pests and unwanted guests—with beauty and function!
