All Ornamental Shrubs * | Chaenomeles Speciosa Scarlet Storm (Pbr) | 3 Litre Pot

Super-Sized Scarlet Flowers On Thorn-Free Stems. Position: Full Sun Or Partial Shade Soil: Moderately Fertile, Well-Drained Soil Rate Of Growth: Fast-Growing Flowering Period: March To May Hardiness: Fully Hardy The Stems Of This Easy To Grow Shrub Are Studded Along Their Length With Large (Up To 5Cm Across), Many-Petalled Flowers, Which Start To Open Just Before The Foliage Appears. Not Only Do These Flowers Add A Bright Splash Of Colour Early In The Year, But They Are Also Sought After By Bees, Helping Them To Top Up Their Energy Levels. Their Stems Are Thorn-Free, Which Makes It Much Easier To Tie Them Onto A Support And Train Them As A Wall Shrub (If Space Is Limited), And It Also Makes It Possible To Plant Them Near A Pathway Without Worrying About Getting Snagged Every Time You Pass. Garden Care: After Flowering Prune Side Shoots To Five Or Six Leaves And Remove Crossing Or Ill-Placed Stems. Once Established Remove Excess Growth In Late Spring Or Summer And Cut Back All Side Shoots To Two Or Three Leaves.
