CHAENOMELES SCARLET STORM

Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Scarlet Storm’ is a deciduous flowering quince ideal for training against a wall or fence, producing showy scarlet-red blossoms in early spring. This climber requires a suitable support to establish and grow. Best in full sun or light shade and moderately fertile, well-drained soil, it forms a dense, twiggy framework that can be tied in and spur-pruned after flowering to keep growth tidy. Expect an eventual height of around 1.5m with a spread of approximately 1.52m when trained, and reliable hardiness for outdoor planting.

This climbing plant has been trained onto a supporting frame to create a neat, well-shaped specimen that is ready for planting. As it grows, new shoots can be guided and secured to continue developing its natural shape.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
