Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Hot Fire’
Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Hot Fire’ produces crimson-red flowers early in spring, on bare, spiny stems. The rounded green foliage that follows on provides a lovely backdrop for showy, autumn fruits. Flowering Quince are ideal specimens for the border, and with a little training make superb wall shrubs. Their nectar-rich blooms are loved by pollinating insects, making them a good choice for wildlife areas, and the edible fruit can be made into jams and preserves. Height and spread: 150cm (59).
