Deutzia 'Plena'
- Offering an exquisite display, Deutzia 'Plena' features breathtaking, fully double white blossoms emerging in great profusion. This phenomenal feature transforms any well-planned garden scheme.
- The framework of this deutzia is exceptionally bushy, upright, and gracefully arching growth habit. Additionally, the deciduous foliage and fascinating, exfoliating bark adding winter interest guarantees this variety works hard across multiple seasons.
- You can expect rapid, healthy establishment in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Despite its highly ornamental appearance, it is reassuringly robust and easy to care for in the UK.
- It actively encourages a healthy, biodiverse environment for a huge variety of beneficial garden pollinators all year round. The flowers carry a sweet, subtle fragrance enhancing any border.
- A wonderful piece of trivia about Deutzia 'Plena': deutzia was named to honour Johann van der Deutz, a Dutch patron of botany. It was introduced to western gardens during perilous plant-hunting expeditions across Asia.
