Deutzia Yuki Cherry Blossom®

Yuki Cherry Blossom 2.0® is a delightful dwarf Deutzia shrub that covers itself with clusters of pink blooms with white centers in spring. When the garden cools down in fall, the leaves add another color note with shades of burgundy. An ideal, easy ground cover, edging plant, or perennial companion that maintains its compact size. Avoided by deer. A Proven Winners® variety. 'SMNDXI' PPAF

The genus Deutzia, part of the Hydrangeaceae family, contains about 60 species of woodland shrubs native to Japan, Central Asia, and East Asia. Only a few are cultivated, valued for their abundant panicles of five-petaled, star-shaped white or pink flowers that create a striking display in spring. A longtime favorite of traditional gardens, the genus now includes a new generation of hybrids bred for a more compact habit and enhanced flower color, with some selections also offering colored or variegated foliage for added interest when out of bloom. Their smaller scale and graceful form make these shrubs especially well-suited to small yards, where they integrate easily into beds, serve as low hedges, or function as ground covers. Adaptable and easy to grow, they perform well in average soil and in conditions ranging from full sun to part shade, and are generally avoided by deer.
