Garden care:
Flowering quince is a tough, reliable shrub that works well trained on walls or used in mixed borders. Plant in well-drained soil in sun or partial shade—it copes with most soil types.

After flowering, shorten side shoots to five or six leaves to shape the plant and encourage flowering and fruiting. Remove any crossing or misplaced stems to keep growth open and healthy.

Once the plant is established, reduce excess growth in late spring or summer, and cut back side shoots again to two or three leaves for a neat finish. Apply a mulch in spring to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
