This well-loved Japonica makes a stunning display of deep coral-pink flowers and is extra special because it blooms in early March, signalling the start of spring. The dainty cup-shaped flowers grow on bare branches, providing a welcome supply of nectar for pollinating insects. Golden-green aromatic fruits appear in autumn and can be made into jellies and preserves. Grow it against a wall, where Chaenomeles x superba 'Pink Lady' will be seen in its full glory, or use it as dense intruder-proof ground cover. Either way, it well deserves its RHS Award of Garden Merit for its excellent performance and trouble-free growth. Height: 150cm (59). Spread: 200cm (78).
