Notes
'Double Take Pink' flowering quince (Chaenomeles speciosa 'Double Take Pink') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms, and the shrub tolerates drought and salt. Deer tend to pass it by. Flowers open in early to late spring.
Pairs well with Shasta daisy, Kentucky bluegrass, and Garlic chives.
