One look at 'Texas Scarlet' flowering quince in bloom and most gardeners are instantly sold. It is one of the first shrubs in Utah to flower. Though the display only lasts a week or two in early spring, the sight of the tomato-red flowers is unforgettable. During the rest of the season, 'Texas Scarlet' remains a wave of glossy green leaves that reaches 2 to 3 feet tall in the toughest of conditions. Great for short hedges.
