Deutzia gracilis 'Yuki Cherry Blossom'
Deutzias are low-maintenance shrubs that bear clusters of single or double white, pink or red fragrant flowers from late Spring to mid Summer. Most deutzias are deciduous, with simple, serrated leaves.
Flowering
From Late Spring TO Mid Summer
Deutzias bear lusters of fragrant flowers from late Spring to mid Summer.
Planting
From Late Autumn TO Early Winter
Plant deutzias in a sunny site with free-draining soil. Pink-flowered deutzias are better in a site with some dappled shade, to help prevent the flowers fading
Propagating by softwood cutting
From Late Spring TO Early Summer
Take softwood cuttings from new growth early in the day in Spring or early Summer. Cut, neatly, a 4" approx. piece of a non-flowering shoot, pinch out the tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
