Flowering Season

From Mid Spring TO Late Spring

Quince flowers, which have 5 petals, and are bowl-shaped, and usually white or pink, appear in Spring.

 

Planting

From Late Winter TO Early Spring

Plant out in late winter. Quinces need a long growing season to ripen well and so are best trained as a fan against a south or west-facing wall in more exposed or northerly gardens.
