There are numerous fine Deutzia species and varieties, which add masses of colour to the garden in early summer. They require little special attention - all are hardy shrubs, capable of thriving in most soils and aspects. The various garden hybrids nearly all have the same parents and yet look quite distinct from each other. This particular Deutzia produces lots of pale pink clusters of flowers with oval green leaves. Plants benefit from regular thinning out of old shoots after flowering.
