Pot Grown Japanese quince 'Pink Lady'
(Chaenomeles x superba 'Pink Lady')

Japanese quince ‰ۡÌÝÌáPink Lady‰ۡó» boasts obovate, glossy-green leaves, that compliment simply gorgeous, 5-petalled, blush-pink flowers.

We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking wonderfully new and healthy!

The Chaenomeles x superba ‰ۡÌÝÌáPink Lady‰ۡó» bush boasts gorgeous, cup-shaped, flowers in March through to May, which are then followed with green, fragrant fruits, that turn yellow when ripe. This is the perfect bush for training against a fence or wall, and it will flower earlier than many other varieties, meaning it is a highly valuable plant for providing early spring colour.

Within 5-10 years, the Japanese quince ‰ۡÌÝÌáPink Lady‰ۡó» can reach an ultimate height and spread of 1.5m x 2m.

It is best to plant your Chaenomeles x superba ‰ۡÌÝÌáPink Lady‰ۡó» in a sheltered, sunny, or partially shaded position, and in chalk, clay, loam, or sand-based soils (which must also be moist and well-draining).

  • Growth rate: Average
  • Ideal height: 1.5m Medium
  • Soil type: Chalk, clay, loam, sand
  • Aspect: Sheltered, full sun, semi-shade
  • Evergreen foliage? No

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

Once it has flowered, prune the sides shoots down to 5/6 leaves, and remove any ill-placed or crossing stems. After the plant has fully established, you can remove any excess growth in the late Spring or Summer, as well as cutting down the sides shoots to 2/3 leaves, instead.

  1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
  2. Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
  3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be clumped together.
  4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down lightly to secure.
  5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
