Quince Plant Colors

Cydonia and Pseudocydonia Colors

• Cydonia is a small tree that grows to about 15 to 25 feet in height. It bears pale pink flower buds that open white, and strongly resemble other flowers of the same family, like apples and pears. The fruit is yellow, acidic, and resembles a pear in shape. Pseudocydonia flowers emerge dark pink and fade to light pink and resemble crabapple blooms. The yellow fruits are similar to oblong apples. They are a little smaller, growing from 10 to 20 feet in height.

Red Chaenomeles

• Japanese quince blooms before the leaves emerge, and some bear stunning red flowers before many other plants begin blooming. "Texas Scarlet" (Chaenomeles "Texas Scarlet") bears pure red single flowers, while the flowers of "Fire Dance" (Chaenomeles "Fire Dance") are a bright, vibrant red. "Nicoline's" (Chaenomeles "Nicoline") flowers are a dark, blood red, while "Scarlet Storm" (Chaenomeles "Double Take Scarlet Storm") bears deep red double flowers. "Crimson and Gold" (Chaenomeles "Crimson and Gold") produces single orangey-red flowers with prominent yellow stamens, producing a two-toned effect.

Orange Chaenomeles

• Japanese quince produces showy flowers in many colors, including orange tones. Both "Geisha Girl" (Chaenomeles Geisha Girl") and "Cameo" (Chaenomeles Cameo") produce delicate peachy-pink double flowers. "Cameo's" flowers have a slightly pinker tone, while "Geisha Girl's" flowers are lightly more peach. "Orange Storm" (Chaenomeles "Double Take Orange Storm") bears large, double, reddish-orange blooms, while "Orange Delight" (Chaenomeles "Orange Delight") has deep-orange single flowers.

Pink Chaenomeles

• There is much variety within the pink-flowered Japanese quinces. For example, "Madame Butterfly" (Chaenomeles "Madame Butterfly") has lovely variegated pink and white flowers, while "Toyo-Nishiki" (Chaenomeles "Toyo-Nishiki") bears pale to dark pink flowers within the same flower clusters. "Pink Storm" (Chaenomeles "Double Take Pink Storm") has large double rich pink flowers while "Pink Lady" (Chaenomeles "Pink Lady") produces creamy lipstick-pink blooms.

White Chaenomeles

• Even with all the colors available in Japanese quince, snowy white flowers can be just as appealing in the landscape. "Jet Trail" (Chaenomeles "Jet Trail") bears single, icy-white flowers, while "Nivalis" (Chaenomeles "Nivalis") has single white flowers and a vigorous, upright habit. "Low 'N White" (Chaenomeles "Low 'N White") bears single white blooms but stays compact, and "Oyashima" has an ruffled double white flower. "Chobujai" (Chaenomeles "Chobujai") is a diminutive plant with small creamy white flowers and is sometimes used in bonsai.
