Plantaerium

Double Take® flowering quinces take everything you love about this springtime favorite and update them for today’s gardens and landscapes. These Chaenomeles speciosa are thornless with very large, fully doubled blooms. Double Take® Scarlet quince’s branches are packed with vibrant, cheerful red blooms in spring, a bold choice for spring color. It’s also a very durable option for landscapes and home gardens, tolerating deer, drought, and heat. Double Take® Scarlet flowering quince was developed by Dr. Tom Ranney and his team at the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research & Extension Center in North Carolina.

A fabulous addition to the Double Take® series! Double Take® Peach flowering quince offers the same benefits as the other three in the series - large double flowers, very long bloom time, outstanding heat tolerance, and thornless stems - but in a romantic, soft peach color. Its elegant flowers are densely packed along the branches, blooming in spring with a strong tendency to rebloom in summer/fall. Double Take® Peach Chaenomeles speciosa is a lovely choice for a specimen, hedge, or cut flower garden—a spring classic updated for today's landscapes.

A new, continuously flowering, thornless quince with big, double white flowers that provide visual impact even when the plant is in full leaf. DOUBLE TAKE ETERNAL WHITE® quince is the longest-blooming flowering quince on the market. Its large doubled blooms appear in spring, and the show continues for months, often into early autumn. The delicious, camellia-like flowers open lime and then transition to pure white and the dark green foliage adds the perfect contrast. This quince is a lower, wider growing shrub than the other Double Take varieties, making it useful in many landscape areas.
