In spring, it produces pale yellow-green flowers, attracting bees and butterflies, and is excellent for wall-side borders. The cup-shaped flowers open in spring before the leaves and fade to creamy white, contrasted beautifully by the glossy dark green foliage. In autumn, it yields green edible fruits that mature to yellow. This Japanese Quince thrives in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, reaching a height and spread of 1.5 metres. It's a sun-loving plant but performs well in partial shade. A low-maintenance and easy-to-grow shrub, it's ideal for containers with good quality compost. It’s a fast grower; prune hard after flowering by removing side-shoots to 2-3 buds to maintain shape and size. The Lemon and Lime variety looks stunning on wall-sides, trellises, sunny slopes, in cottage gardens, or informal gardens, either as a single specimen or in groups for borders.
