Companion Plants

Companion for small Quintz?

16 years ago

I'm in zone 5 in Massachusetts & am looking for suggestions

for perrenial companion plant for my Flowering Quintz.

I keep it trimmed down to about 4' ft. Right now it looks shabby as I do not know what to put with it. This is in bright sun all day. This is a smallish type garden in front of my house. Right now, I have 2 different type hosts on each side of the Quintz, Stone Crop sedum, A sedum cutting

(probably Autum Joy), Garden Mums, Daffodills & some Tulips.

I am willing to move these plants elsewhere in order to make it look better.

TIA,

Yvette :)

You mean Flowering Quince :D
Combo sounds nice too me, but pictures would help to see what you see. My Quince is planted in the grass area not in the flowerbed....nearest neighbors a 3 year old Lilac and a variegated Dogwood in sorta of a triangle. My quince isn't very big at this time as it was seed started just 2 years ago.
