Deutzia × hybrida
Hybrid deutzia (Deutzia × hybrida) is a shrub that reaches 1.8 m × 1.8 m after ten years. Light: full sun, part shade. Hardy down to -29 °C. Drought tolerance: medium. Sold in local shops from about €1.30.
Hybrid deutzia covers its arching branches with masses of pink, star-shaped flowers in late spring and early summer; it is mostly sold as 'Mont Rose', 'Strawberry Fields' and 'Pink Pom-Pom', and some of these are lightly scented. It is an undemanding, quick-growing shrub that copes with most garden soils and flowers best in sun, though it appreciates watering in long dry spells. It flowers on the previous year's wood, so always prune it straight after flowering, otherwise you cut off next year's display.
