Deutzia is a low-maintenance shrub that thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to part shade.

Deutzia shines in borders, along walkways, foundation beds, and mixed shrub plantings. Use compact varieties like Yuki Cherry Blossom® or Nikko Slender Deutzia in smaller spaces or containers. Larger types work well as informal hedges or low privacy screens. They also soften retaining walls, cascade over slopes, and add brightness to rain gardens or wildlife-friendly plantings.
When and how should I prune Deutzia shrubs?
When and how should I prune Deutzia shrubs?
Prune Deutzia shrubs right after they finish blooming in late spring or early summer. Since they flower on old wood, avoid heavy pruning in fall or early spring. Simply remove dead or damaged stems and shape the plant lightly to maintain its tidy, mounded habit. Pruning annually after bloom encourages better airflow, more blooms, and a healthier overall appearance.

Add Deutzia to your native garden, pollinator strip, or eco-friendly landscape for a beautiful and beneficial boost.
