Planting Deutzia

About

Deutzia are a great deciduous shrub which bloom in late Spring or summer, with dense clusters of star or cup shaped flowers in white or pink shades. They make an impressive yet low-maintenance addition to borders with some varieties perfect for containers. Deutzia can be planted in most types of relatively fertile soil, provided it’s not too dry, making it perfect for almost any garden. They will grow up to 2.5m, with a more compact variety growing to around 2m.

 

Our varieties below offer several choices in typical shades of pink and white. For a more compact growth, go for Strawberry Fields, which will only grow to 2m when left and flower with fascinating white flowers flushed with pink from deep crimson buds. Or for a truly remarkable display, our summer flowering Deutzia Collection of our three great varieties is perfect.

1:18 couldn't be easier few crocks in the

1:20 bottom that allows the water that's done

1:24 there's no standing water it drains away

1:26 a good multi-purpose compost now

1:30 multi-purpose it's not going to stay in

1:32 this pot it's going to it's going to

1:36 grow on and that's the beauty of it you

1:38 see doing it at this time of year what

1:40 you can actually do is pop this on put

1:46 it into there grow it for a month six

1:48 weeks and it's got six weeks more growth

1:50 then if you just planted it straight up

1:53 into the guard because it's cold up

1:54 there it will just shiver for a month or

1:56 so and then go into growth what it does

1:58 is growing it into a pot is it actually

2:01 gives it a good stance and it really is

v2:04 as simple as that you don't need to do

2:06 anything with it the things you don't

2:09 need to do is this is an outdoor plants

2:11 been grown in a field it's used to the

2:13 cold

2:13 the frost the damp you would damage it

2:18 if you brought it in so no warmth on it

2:20 outside once you've done this it's just

2:22 outside do the there you go it's as easy

2:28 as that don't seize our beautiful bushes

2:49 bit specialist it usually comes pop

2:51 grown and it's a little bit dois further

2:54 than the others but I tell you what they

2:56 really are beautiful after flowering

2:58 give them a good prune probably about a

3:00 third off and you'll get wonderful

3:02 flowers for years and years to come

3:05 strawberry fields forever now when it

3:08 comes these are field dug up sometimes

3:13 by people but sometimes by a machine and

3:15 the ends get a bit frayed so where

3:17 disease can get in just prune the ends

3:20 off even underneath its healthy just

3:23 prune the ends away down to a Buddha if

3:26 you can you do it no harm and I'll tell

3:29 you what I have not seen a better plant

3:33 than this for the price each other I

3:36 tell you what I wouldn't tell the number

3:53 apple tree there crabapple and the

3:57 don'ts you know it is a cracking brush

3:59 now in here this shade and what the

4:03 Deutsch do will be perfectly well here

4:05 potted it on for six weeks two months

4:08 and it's ready for off and that's all

4:12 you need just scrape the soil back in

4:20 quite good soil around here so this is

4:22 okay firm it in this is just to get the

4:26 air pockets out that might be in there

4:28 so the roots won't go in the air pockets

4:31 and there's three of them in here this

4:36 will grow away make beautiful flowers

4:38 and when the flowers have finished give

4:41 it a good hard proof prune it hard back

4:43 and all this growth will come up and

4:45 then next year it can be even better and

4:47 even bigger so if you've got a

4:48 troublesome spot don't use the bush for
