General Information
Rich, scarlet red-orange flowers appear in early spring on the Texas Scarlet Flowering Quince. The glossy, mid-green foliage provides an attractive contrast to the brilliant blooms. It forms a low growing, spreading shrub. This is an excellent variety that is nearly thornless. The hard, yellow green fruits ripen to red in fall. The fruits are edible, but are very bitter when eaten directly from the bush. They can be used in jams and jellies. Excellent as a background shrub. Can be used in foundation plantings or shrub borders. Attractive low hedge. Good for planting on slopes or hillsides.

We treat your plant
like it's ours
- Before your plant leaves our greenhouse, it’s wrapped and supported to handle the journey ahead. Pots are sealed to prevent spills, plants are gently netted and staked for stability, and boxes are packed with biodegradable peanuts to absorb movement along the way. Thoughtful packaging helps your plant arrive happy, healthy, and ready to grow.
When your plant
arrives
- Plants may show signs of stress after shipping, such as bent stems or drooping leaves. This is normal. Prompt unpacking, proper watering, and a short recovery period in the shade help plants rebound quickly. Avoid heavy pruning and give your plant time to adjust as it establishes in your landscape.
