Chaenomeles × superba 'Crimson Gold'
Chaenomeles × superba ‘Crimson Gold’, also known as Japanese quince ‘Crimson Gold’, is an ornamental shrub highly valued for its spectacular and early spring bloom. It forms a dense, spreading, and slightly thorny habit, ideal for low defensive hedges, borders, or mass plantings. From early spring, often before the foliage appears, it covers itself in intense crimson-red flowers with golden-yellow centers, creating a striking and very luminous contrast in the garden. Its deciduous dark green foliage complements its decorative appeal throughout the growing season. Hardy and well-adapted to Quebec’s climate, Chaenomeles × superba ‘Crimson Gold’ is easy to cultivate, tolerates ordinary soils well, and also offers decorative fruit in autumn, appreciated by wildlife and for culinary uses after cooking.
