For a mass of soft apricot-pink blooms early in the gardening year, this Flowering Quince is an excellent choice. The nectar-rich flowers appear from early March on bare stems, to be followed by glossy green leaves and then, in autumn, large golden fruits. Aromatic and edible, these fruits can be made into jellies and preserves. Chaenomeles x superba 'Salmon Horizon' is ideal for training against a wall. It can also be grown as an intruder-proof barrier: the strong spiny branches making effective and attractive ground cover. Height: 150cm (59). Spread: 200cm (78).
