How do you place and style Chaenomeles japonica in your garden?

The Chaenomeles japonica is not only a beautiful flowering shrub, but also versatile in placement. Due to its compact growth it is perfect for use as a hedge plant, solitary or in a mixed border . Thanks to the prickly branches the Japanese quince can also serve as a natural separation or security hedge.

Styling tips:

• As a hedge: Plant several shrubs next to each other for a dense, flowering hedge in the spring.

• Solitary: Place one plant as an eye-catcher in the middle of a border or at the entrance to your garden.

• Climbing support: The branches can be trained along walls or pergolas for an elegant look.

Combine the Chaenomeles japonica with early flowering bulbs such as tulips and daffodils for a colourful spring display.
