Quince Flower


"Blossom by blossom the spring begins." - Algernon Charles Swinburne

Quince is a perennial bloom which is native to Southeast Asia. Its botanical name is Chaenomeles Speciosa and is commonly known as Japanese Quince. There are only three species of this plant. They usually bloom from late winter to early spring which makes them a perfect choice for border plantings. The flowers form in clusters and are typically orange-red, pink or white in colour.

Flowering Quince are shrubs which grow in sun or in partial shade. The shrubs are compact and are perfect for hedges which shelter bird nests and small wildlife. The fruits of flowering quince plants are edible but tart. Symbolically the ornamental quince represents life, love and fertility.
