Plant flowering quince 'Toyo Nishiki' for special Spring color

Chaenomeles japonica'Toyo Nishiki' 'Toyo Nishiki' has been available for awhile, but it is a remarkably under-used delight of a shrub. Japanese quince blooms in early Spring. Besides being gorgeous, its special attraction is that it features light red, white, and pink blooms on one plant. It's much more subtle than the popular red and red-orange cultivars, so situate it where it can be seen. One specimen is good, but an asymmetrical triangulation of 3 is spectacular.
