‘Double Take Scarlet’ is a flowering quince grown primarily for its spectacular double scarlet-red flowers in spring. As one of the earliest blooming shrubs, the flowers appear on the branches before or as the foliage emerges, creating a particularly bold early-season display. Unlike traditional flowering quince, the Double Take series is known for thornless stems, making it easier to place along walkways and in areas where people pass close to the plant. Its compact shrub form works well in borders, foundation plantings, and wildlife-friendly landscapes. The flowers are also useful for cutting and bringing indoors for spring arrangements.
Height: 4–5 ft
Width: 4–5 ft
Flower time: April–May
Sun/Shade: Full sun to part shade
Deer resistant
