Texas Scarlet Flowering Quince
Chaenomeles speciose ‘Texas Scarlet’
A deciduous shrub prized for its bold, extremely early, spring blooms. Vibrant red-orange flowers burst from contorted, spiny branches before the leaves appear, and give way to edible quince-like fruits, sometimes used in preserves or jellies. The shiny green foliage and mounded shape make this a great accent plant and it is well-suited for shrubby borders, informal hedges, or background planting.
Easily grown in average, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade, but best flowering occurs in full sun. Drought-tolerant when established. Prune to shape as needed in spring after flowering to stimulate growth of flowering spurs which will improve bloom for the following year.
Mature size: 3-4ft x 4-5ft
Hardiness zone: 5-9

Welcome to The Plant Firm
The Plant Firm was created during the lockdown of 2020 as a fun project to give me something to do. It quickly became a much larger endeavor and one that I knew needed more attention to be done right. I was tired of paying an arm and a leg for plants at the big box store and saw an opportunity to save people time and money while also delivering straight to their door. So, here we are in 2023. Officially up and running with an amazing team, more plants, and a desire to provide you with better plants at better prices!
