You might have heard that quince shrubs have long, sharp thorns, but Double Take Pink Quince (Chaenomeles speciosa 'Pink Storm') is thornless. That's not the only reason you should do a double take when you see this shrub. It's the large double flowers that will snap your head around. The deep pink floral display begins in spring, making this versatile shrub look much like a camellia. Another bonus? Deer typically ignore quince.
At a height of nearly 5 feet and a 4-foot spread, Double Take Pink Quince is a pretty and colorful addition to mixed borders or hedges, or gardens for cut flowers. It's also drought and heat tolerant, so you can let an established Double Take go for short periods without water. The blooms will last most of the spring where this plant can grow — in zones 5 through 9. The flowers do not produce fruit.
Double Take Pink Quince Care
Plant Double Take Pink Quince in part to full sun for best flowering. The plant is much tougher than its delicate flowers indicate. Applying controlled-release fertilizer in spring can help it grow and bloom. Feel free to cut flowers for indoor arrangements. Then, just prune lightly to shape your quince after it is done flowering.
Double Take Pink Quince Spacing
Add colorful drama to your landscape with one or more Double Take Pink Quince as a garden highlight. If you plant a group or hedge of quinces, space the plant about 4 to 5 feet apart from center to center.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
