Chaenomeles speciosa (Quince)
Color Name: Double Take® Scarlet
Double Take Scarlet puts on a spectacular early spring display of large red, double flowers. The Double Take quinces are more than just pretty spring flowers: thornless and deer-resistant, they do not produce fruit, and once established, are drought-tolerant survivalists. The Double Take quinces are sure to brighten your spring landscapes.
Growing Tips: Quince is quite adaptable to any soil, and shows good tolerance to dry conditions once it is established. If pruning is desired, do so immediately after flowering in spring. Remove oldest stems every 4-6 years. Excellent for hedging, mass planting and cut flower gardens. A spectacular early season specimen for the mixed border.
All of the Double Take series have demonstrated exceptional heat tolerance, blooming weeks longer than conventional varieties. They also have shown a strong tendency to rebloom in fall. These thornless varieties do not set fruit.
