Deutzia crenata 'Nikko'
Deutzia is an outstanding low growing woody perennial/dwarf shrub introduced by the National Arboretum. Well suited for small spaces or used as a groundcover, it is an elite plant for any garden. Its gently arching branches are covered by flowers in late April and early May. Highly effective in containers or cascading over a low wall.
Buds are set on previous years growth, so any pruning should be done just after flowers fade. New growth is produced from the base. Periodic thinning of branches will maintain the arching form. Pest resistant. Very easy to grow in any fertile soil. Benefits from light afternoon shade in areas with high temperatures.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
