The Double Take Pink™ Quince is a thornless rounded deciduous shrub that grows to about 6 feet tall and wide, or even a little more. It blooms in late winter and early spring on the bare branches, and the exceptional blooms are very large and fully double – they look like beautiful pink roses. Blooming lasts for weeks, and then glossy green leaves appear, making an excellent background shrub. Grow it on a wall or fence as an espalier, or out in beds as a background shrub. Trim it into a flowering hedge – you will love it every way possible.
Full sun is the best location for the Double Take Pink™ Quince but a little partial shade in hot zones will not be a problem. This reliable and easy shrub grows well in any well-drained soil, from sand to clay, and it is moderately drought resistant once well-established. It is normally ignored by pests or diseases, and it doesn’t need much care. For the best results prune in spring right after blooming.
