Chaenomeles speciosa Double Take® Peach (Japanese Quince)
Japanese Quince Double Take® Peach, Flowering Quince Double Take® Peach, Chaenomeles speciosa 'NCCS4' PP30231, Double Take® Series
Chaenomeles speciosa Double Take® Peach (Japanese Quince) is a compact, rounded, deciduous shrub with abundant clusters of large, double, soft peachy-pink flowers. Borne on thornless branches, they bloom in profusion over a long season in mid to late spring, creating a brilliant floral display at a time when there is little to be excited about in the garden. Very tolerant of heat and dry conditions, combine this pretty Japanese Quince with daffodils and tulips and enjoy a cheerful spring scene. Double Take quinces often rebloom in fall for some surprise color late in the season.
- Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall and wide (120-150 cm).
- Full sun to part shade lover, this plant is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils. In cold climates, plant in full sun for the very best flower color. In warmer areas, some afternoon shade will help flowers last longer. Adapts to a wide range of soil conditions, including dry soils and clay soils provided there is good drainage. Drought tolerant once established.
- Easy to care for and nearly indestructible, Flowering Quince is a perfect choice for mixed shrub borders or flowering hedges. Great as a specimen plant and for foundation plantings. Flowering Quince may also be trained against a wall.
- Deer resistant.
- Plants bloom on old growth. Prune to shape as required after flowering to encourage the growth of flowering spurs. Flowers appear mostly on two-year-old wood, so do not prune too heavily. Fertilize, if desired, in early spring, when the ground has thawed.
- Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings.
