Deutzia gracilis


 

Deutzia gracilis
Slender deutzia

Culture: This species prefers full sun to partial shade and acidic to neutral moist soils. Members of this genus are easy to transplant. An occasional pruning rejuvenation of the plant will help to maintain its uniformity.

This species has few insect or disease problems.

Usage: The slender deutzia is commonly used in shrub borders, as a facer plant and in large masses. Although the flower display is nice on this species, it only offers one season of interest, restricting its utility in the landscape.
