Okay I am freaking out a tad. We just moved into our home a little over a year ago. We found this plant growing underneath a crepe myrtle in the front flower bed. It looked awful so we decided to transplant it to the back corner. We had no clue what it was at the time, I am ashamed to say that it was before I was a member of DG. Anyhow when we got it all up we found a little tag down around one of the roots that said Flowering Quince, Texas Scarlet. So it is in the back corner of our yard and it has really enjoyed its new home. It never stops flowering. The problem is I just looked it up in the PlantFiles and saw how big it is suppose to get. Does it really grow 5-8 feet tall?? If so my hubby is going to shoot me when he realizes we need to relocate it once again. We thought that it was a low ground cover kinda plant. It hasn't grown up, but out. Just needed some advice from any other Quince growers. In fact I don't even know that a quince is. Help me!!
