Look no further than deutzia if you want to add a pink plant to your yard. This plant that lives a long time is a great choice because of these reasons.
What Does a Deutzia Shrub Look Like?
“I bought this bush seven years ago but still don’t know what it is.” It is a pretty bush that falls over and blooms in June. Could you help?” Carol Cooper, a fan of Birds & Blooms, asks.
Melinda Myers, a gardening expert: Your unknown bush is a deutzia with pink flowers. It blooms best in full sun, but it can also handle some shade. Its woody stems don’t last long, so cut it back often to keep it looking its best.
Since it blooms on growth from the previous season, you should prune it right after it flowers. Deutzias can be used as a hedge or in mixed gardens. The flowers will stand out, and the plain green leaves will hide or accent other plants with brighter colours.

It’s been in my family for a long time, but no one seems to know what this flower is called. We don’t know how to spell it, but we call it a “ducie” bush. Could you help us figure out what it is?” Cindy Wabner, a fan of Birds & Blooms, asks.
Hi Melinda Your family name is close to it. The plant is called deutzia in scientific terms. It is said with a long u sound: dut’se-a. This plant blooms in the spring and can survive in Zones 4 through 8.
Depending on the type, it can grow up to 7 feet tall and wide. It grows best in full sun and can handle most garden dirt as long as it drains well. Cut back the plant after you mow it if you want to change its size and shape.
Deutzia Shrub Care and Growing Tips
Most deutzia shrubs do well in dry conditions, and while no plant is totally safe from deer, they usually don’t bother them. You don’t have to worry about giving these plants too much care; they only need mulch and fertiliser once a year.
Deutzia bushes often stay in the same family for many generations. There are over 60 kinds of deutzia bushes, so you’re sure to find one that you like.
