flowering quince

Flowering quince (Chaenomeles 'Pink Storm') should be watered twice per week when grown in fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply, using about 1 inch of water each time. Wait for the soil to dry out in between waterings, giving it a chance to recover. Be sure not to allow the roots to become oversaturated, as this can lead to root rot and other issues. Flowering quince is moderately drought tolerant, so if you’re concerned about overwatering, simply wait until the top inch of soil is dry before watering again.

This flowering quince plant species, Chaenomeles 'Pink Storm', should be grown in full sun for optimal flowering and fruit production. During the hottest months of the year, it may require some protection from the afternoon sun to prevent scorching. At least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun each day should suffice. During the spring and fall season, full sun is recommended to keep the plant healthy and promote optimal flower production. When temperatures dip below freezing, it is advised to provide some protection from the colder temperatures by providing some shelter.

Flowering quince (Chaenomeles 'Pink Storm') should be pruned in early spring prior to any new growth. This will help shape the plant and limit its size. Pruning should consist of removing any dead or diseased branches, along with any shoots growing from the trunk or from old wood. After this, thin out the bush by taking out any crossing or crowded branches that block light and air from getting to the inner foliage. Lastly, remove any errant branches that may be growing out in odd directions.
