The brilliant colors of the Red Quince arrive in both the spring and the fall. A burst of scarlet in the springtime is followed by a display of either red or yellow in the fall. In between, it's a hardy and drought-tolerant shrub that makes a deep green, densely branched backdrop for your brightly colored spring and summer blooms. The uniquely red spring flowers are beautiful and fragrant, scenting your yard or your home with their perfume. The long branches make a stunning indoor arrangement. They can be brought inside after blooming for a sweet-smelling treat or forced before their typical early spring blooming season for a late winter taste of spring.
