Deutzias come from eastern Asia. They are low-maintenance shrubs ideal for every garden size and very gardener as they are so easy to grow.
Description of the plant:
Pride of Rochester is a beautiful variety of deutzia with pure white, double blossoms. They come out from early June. Deciduous leaves are mid green, broadly ovate. It has interesting peeling bark on older branches which looks great especially in winter when the shrub has no leaves.Trimming is not needed but if you wish to trim or rejuvenate older plants do so immediately after flowering. Deutzia flowers on previous year’s wood so it needs to make new branches with flowers buds before winter.
Deutzias are quite soil adaptable. They like full sun but will grow in part shade, too. Fully hardy to about -30°C (USDA zone 5).
