Notes
'Pink Storm' Japanese quince (Chaenomeles 'Pink Storm') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, hedges, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Double pink flowers open in early to late spring and smell sweet, and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Once settled, the shrub tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Lilac, Ornamental onion, Foam flower, and Big bluestem.
