Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Bright double white flowers festoon this tall shrub in spring... an outstanding addition for hedge or border. Sun/Med

By: Forestfarm

Has double white flowers similar to the peachy C. ‘Cameo’. This full bushy plant will cover itself with these white flowers in early spring.

By: Gossler Farms

Lovely little quince, to only about 4' tall, with compact, spineless, and somewhat undulating branches that produce an abundance of double white flowers in winter through spring. One of the most asked after quinces in our garden. For us sometimes flowers as early as the new year, thereby forming wonderful winter forcing for cut flowers. Full sun to dappled shade. Though drought tolerant, some summer moisture in dry climates improves bud set. The only problem we have seen in our garden is a propensity to being run over by large trucks if planted too close to the drive… Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.
