    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Shared with us by plantsman Kevin Smith, a wonderful quince adorned with brick-red flowers from as early as December in our climate through April in most climates, each flower contrasted with a rich boss of yellow stamens. Compared to another of our favorites, C. japonica 'Atsuya Hamada', this is a lighter color with more orange pigment. A medium shrub, to 6-8', and spineless, thank you very much. These are particularly floriferous and good for forcing -- to do what is up to you. For full sun to part shade with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6 and possibly colder.
