Description
Heralding the arrival of spring, the Cameo Quince puts on a spectacular early through mid-spring display of abundant and beautiful double blossoms with peachy orange-pink petals. Its 3.5″ oblong dark green and glossy leaves unfold after the flowers and then small, fragrant yellow to green fruits (2″ diameter) appear in late spring and summer ripening in fall. The fruits are edible however, beware as they are quite bitter when eating directly from the bush. The fruits are best used for jellies and preserves.
Cut branches of Cameo Quince are excellent for indoor flower arrangements. When buds have formed on branches in late winter, just cut a branch and bring it indoors to force buds to open.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, the Cameo Flowering Quince is an ideal choice as a specimen or in groupings for eye-popping color in flowering shrub borders. Excellent companions are other early spring bloomers such as Forysthia, Tulip Tree Magnolias (tulip trees), Camellia Japonica, and Reeves Spirea.
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Quince variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy growing it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Quince are exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained to somewhat dry soil, preferring a loamy soil. Flower production is best in full to mostly sun, however plants will tolerate part shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering. Plants are very drought tolerant when established. The flowers are born on old growth (last years branches) so wait to prune until after flowering.

Good morning and very good to hear from you.
We live in the northern Arizona desert in a brand new home and all landscaping from scratch. We both love color and I grew Quince in my past. The blooms are beautiful so I was thrilled to see that they will do well here.
Your team did a fantastic job packing them . They looked good although did naturally loose some leaves.
They were planted a little over a week ago and so far, so good. We are looking forward to seeing blooms.

Upon arrival the plant looked very good. The packaging provided enough room shipping tussling. It came with one little flower bud and nearly the whole plant was already leafed in green. I planted it right-away and it seems to be doing well so far. The little bud did open and looked very pretty peach color much like the picture. I look forward to next years blooms.———————————————–Thanks so much for the photos. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!
