This plant is primarily grown as an ornamental | but it's also valued for its edible qualities. The bitter fruit is most often used in preserves.

Ornamental Qualities

Crimson and Gold Flowering Quince has crimson cup-shaped flowers with gold eyes along the branches in early spring before the leaves. It has dark green deciduous foliage which emerges red in spring. The glossy oval leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color. The fruits are showy yellow pomes displayed in mid fall. The fruit can be messy if allowed to drop on the lawn or walkways | and may require occasional clean-up.

Planting and Growing

Crimson and Gold Flowering Quince will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 5 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front | and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more.

This shrub should only be grown in full sunlight. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations | and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
