CHAENOMELES speciosa nivalis
white flowering quince
Hardy thicket-forming deciduous shrub to 2 m tall by 1.5 m wide, with clusters of single white flowers on bare stems in late winter.
A genus of many-stemmed highly ornamental deciduous shrubs from China and Japan they are very frost hardy and tolerate a wide range of soils. They can be grown in full sun or light shade, and benefit from the occasional removal of some of the older stems. The stems of these shrubs are also somewhat thorny making them good barrier hedges. The white-flowering nivalis is a very free flowering and beautiful addition to the late winter garden.
