CHAENOMELES SPECIOSA “Toyo Nishiki” (Flowering Quince)

$14.00 – $53.00

The Flowering Quince is an heirloom Deciduous flowering shrub often seen in gardens of historic homes across the country.

The Toyo Nishiki is prized in many countries due to its multi-color blooms! Unlike its monocolored siblings, the Toyo Nishiki puts on red, white, and pink flowers that emerge on stems before the leaves, in the spring. It has dark green leaves with growth to 6ft making it a great backdrop or hedge when grouped along a fence line.

Chaenomeles tolerate poor soil and are quite drought resistant. This makes them easy to care for and nearly indestructible once established. However, moderate watering is appreciated weekly in the heat of summer. Leafy, vibrant blooms will appear on old growth and are most prevalent in full sun.

The Blooms are the main attraction of this ornamental bloomer to both humans and pollinators. So, you can leave them unpruned for the butterflies and bees or prune some of the flowering branches for an indoor centerpiece.

Fun Fact: It can be purchased by Bonzai lovers for use indoors as well.

Description

Colorado Hardy Plants are just that… hardy! We have sought out plant varieties that provide low maintenance, use little or no water once established, and are simply hardy enough to grow where others don’t.

We grow and ship our plants in 5″” or quart-size (in certain varieties) plastic containers.

CHP is a small family operation! We propagate, pot, water, prune, and personally package the pants you order from us.

Most of our plants are grown from cuttings taken from the plants or seeds collected nearby the nursery at an elevation of 6300 ft. Our weather is extreme with temps below 0 are common in the winter and intense sunlight all summer long. We don’t grow plants in heated greenhouses, they have to be able to survive the elements! They are guaranteed to have a large root system that fills the container. The root system is the most important part of the plant.

Please note that deciduous plants ordered in the winter months and early spring will have been pruned a minimum of 30% compared to photos and may have no leaves.

Our nursery is also licensed and inspected by the Colorado Department of Agriculture, Nursery Division and holds a current Japanese Beetle Certificate.

We only ship USPS Priority Mail, so your plants are sure to arrive quickly. You’ll note in our feedback that our shipping process is a sight to behold.
