Chaenomeles × superba ‘Elly Mossel’ – Flowering Ornamental Quince is a stunning, early-spring shrub that bursts into life with a dazzling display of rich scarlet-red blooms. The large, cup-shaped flowers open along the bare, thorny branches before the foliage emerges, creating a contrast against the still-muted tones of late winter. Each bloom is packed with golden-yellow stamens at its centre, adding warmth and brightness to the fiery petals. As the glossy green leaves unfurl, they provide a fresh backdrop for the fading flowers, keeping the plant attractive well beyond its main flowering season.
Compact yet vigorous, ‘Elly Mossel’ forms a dense, spreading shrub ideal for borders, hedging, or training against a wall as an informal espalier. Thriving in full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil, it is hardy, resilient, and remarkably easy to grow. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape and encourages strong growth for the following year’s display. In autumn, small quince-like fruits may develop, adding further seasonal interest. Reliable and eye-catching, this ornamental quince is a superb choice for gardeners seeking bold early colour, structure, and year-round garden presence.
Supplied in approx. 2-3 litre containers.
