Flowering Quince

In early spring, before they leaf out, the branches of this shrub are covered in beautiful small flowers – quite an early spring show and welcome food for hummingbirds and butterflies! Flowering Quince plants are hardy and easy-going plants and, once established, are quite drought tolerant. Flowers can be coral, scarlet, pink, or white.
