Chaenomeles

Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Cameo’   

While Quince were once coined “one of the most precious and invaluable of the early flowering shrubs” by British author, Mrs. C. W. Earle, this particular cultivar headlines numerous top ten lists as a preeminent spring blooming woody. Heralding winter’s end, gorgeous double blossoms with soft apricot-pink shades are poised in stalkless clusters on stout naked stems. Fine-toothed, deciduous leaves later host edible and perfumed reddish yellow berries known to make delicious preserves.

Easily maintained when allotted a sunny, well drained site, numerous springy branches form a dense, compact thicket that can be grown along a pathway or dramatically spotlit against a wall.

Size: 4'–5' high x 3'–5' wide; hardy to zone 4.
