    Prolific large, tomato-red flowers and a low, compact habit make this variety a favorite in early spring. S/M

    Deciduous shrub with scarlet-red blooms at the first sign of spring. Green leaves follow shortly after blooms appear. Growth Rate medium

    Beautiful watermelon colored flowers arrive first. Then the leaves appear, red when young, fading to green as they age. As the flowers age and fall off, the bitter fruit, quince, begin to develop. Although used in jellies, most seem to leave the fruit for local wildlife to enjoy. Wonderful flowers for cutting. A perfect mom present, especially with small children around to bring in handfuls. A gift that brings smiles for years to come. Light pruning is all she ever needs. Yard work done right!
