Description

Chaenomeles speciosa 'Eximia' is a thorny and ornamental shrub with a bushy habit.

 

In March-April, it is covered with numerous clusters of 2 to 4 single carmine pink flowers. The honey-scented flowering appears before the leaves. This flowering is replaced in autumn by decorative yellow quinces. These fruits perfume the bush with their pleasant smell. The foliage of the Japanese quince is deciduous. Measuring up to 8cm (3in) long, the leaves are dark green and shiny on the top.

At maturity, Chaenomeles speciosa 'Eximia' can reach a height of 2m (7ft). It is a vigorous and hardy bush. This quince can be cultivated as a standalone plant or in a group planting. It can also be used as a hedge or ground cover.

Planting and care

Chaenomeles speciosa 'Eximia' thrives in the sun. You can also grow it in partial shade, in sunnier regions. Plant it in ordinary, moist but well-drained soil. It also tolerates limestone. It is a very easy plant to grow. When planting, mix your soil with compost. When grown as a hedge, space the plants 80cm (32in) apart. In a flower bed, the plants should be spaced 40 to 60cm (16 to 24in) apart. This Japanese quince is resistant to pollution. It requires little watering as it is drought-resistant.
