GENERAL INFORMATION

• Deutzia is an often-overlooked deciduous shrub that deserves to be more widely used in the landscape. For two weeks or longer in spring, dazzling clusters of fragrant bell-shaped flowers bloom against a backdrop of finely textured foliage. A member of the hydrangea family, some deutzia varieties have fall color and exfoliating bark, offering multi-seasonal interest.
• There are about 60 species of Deutzia, from dwarf ground covers to larger types up to 10 feet tall. Native to Asia and Japan, this versatile shrub can be used as a ground cover, hedging, privacy screening, in mass plantings, containers, or borders. Deutzia is virtually maintenance-free once established, with few insect or disease problems.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Deutzia does best in rich, well drained soils with a pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Plants are tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions including sand or clay, and a range of pH levels as long as there is adequate drainage.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

• Apply a slow-release balanced fertilizer according to instructions, or one that is especially formulated for trees and shrubs. Mulch around the base with organic matter to add nutrients, suppress weeds and conserve water.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Full sun to part shade.  Plants will bloom best in full sun and will benefit from some afternoon shade in hotter climates to prevent leaf bleaching or scald.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Overwatering or poor drainage can result in root rot. Established plants are somewhat drought tolerant. Water when the soil surface becomes dry 1 to 2 inches down.
