Deutzia
at Digging Dog
Including Deutzia gracilis, Deutzia setchuenensis var. corymbiflora, & Deutzia x magnifica
Deutzia
These profuse and long blooming deciduous shrubs are Asian natives named after Johann van der Deutz, a lawyer, town councilor and amateur botanist from Amsterdam. Easy to cultivate in any well drained soil, Deutzias are some of the most beautiful early summer flowering shrubs.
Drink in the pearlescent splendor of this fresh vintage whose frosty, star-shaped blossoms sparkle amid spirited lemon-green foliage that is serrated and burn resistant. Exploding from immaculately white, clustered buds, the delicate fragrant flowers adorn gently arching branches.
A luminous companion for Viburnum ‘Mary Milton’s deep greenery with the small textural leaves of Ajuga ‘Emerald Chip’ skirting below, ‘Chardonnay Pearls’s compact profile assures a bright crispness all season. (PPAF)
Blooms late May–early June. Size: 3'–4' high x 3'–4' wide; hardy to zone 5. Deutzia gracilis ‘Chardonnay Pearls’ (S-0605)
Each $10.00

Blooms March – April. Size: 2' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 5. Deutzia gracillis ‘Nikko’ (S-0140)
Each $10.00

As the name implies, this is a magnificent hybrid that comes to us via the famous Lemoine Nursery in France, where many Deutzia and the closely related Philadelphus were hybridized between 1894 and 1927. It is a vigorous, upright shrub with a dense branching habit. Its exfoliating bark and pure white double flowers, carried in tightly clustered sprays along the branches, create much interest, especially in a shrubby or mixed border with a dark background.
In our garden, we contrast the white flowers with purple-leafed Cotinus ‘Grace’ and summer blooming Hydrangea ‘Blue Wave’.
Blooms June–July. Size: 6'–8' high x 6' wide; hardy to zone 6.
Deutzia x magnifica (S-0196)
Each $10.00
