Estimated Native Range
Summary
Deutzia gracilis, commonly known as Slender Deutzia, is a deciduous shrub native to the open woodlands and forest edges of Japan. It typically grows to a height of 2 to 4 feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters) and a width of 2 to 5 feet (0.6 to 1.5 meters). This shrub has a rounded, mounded form with slender, arching branches. In spring, it produces clusters of fragrant, bell-shaped flowers that are white, sometimes tinged with pink, which are highly attractive to pollinators. The blooms are considered quite showy and add a burst of brightness to the garden.
Slender Deutzia is valued for its graceful form, ease of maintenance, and the profusion of flowers that adorn its branches in late spring. It is often used in residential landscapes for border planting, as a foundation plant, or in mass plantings to create a low hedge. This plant thrives in well-drained soils, whether they are loamy, sandy, or clay, and prefers a location with full sun to part shade. While it is adaptable to various soil conditions, it benefits from a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature.CC BY-SA 4.0
