Description

Hut 2 Deutzia are delicately beautiful, small compact shrubs with hollow shoots, exfoliating bark and opposite, lanceolate, serrated green leaves. 5-petaled, white, pink or lavender flowers bloom in panicles or clusters on stems. Blooms on old wood, so prune if desired immediately after flowering. Flower buds are susceptible to late spring frosts; protect as necessary. Arching branches will root to the ground to form a shrubby groundcover. Prefers moist, well drained conditions. Best flowering in full sun. ‘Yuki Cherry Blossom’ has pearl-like flower buds which open to fragrant, pale pink flowers resembling cherry blossoms, thus the name. Green foliage turns a striking purple-bronze color. Height: 1-2 ft. Spread: 1-2 ft.
