Chardonnay Pearls® Deutzia

The Chardonnay Pearls® Deutzia is a small, dense, deciduous shrub growing about 3 feet tall that can be easily trimmed into neat hedges and balls, or left to grow into a more open bush. It has brilliant citrus-yellow foliage that stays that way from spring to fall, unaffected by heat or cold. For several weeks in May it is decorated with attractive clusters of star-shaped, fragrant white blossoms that are pure shining white. It is perfect in beds of all sizes and as a trimmed or untrimmed edging plant to define your beds from the surrounding lawn or hard surfaces.

• Bold citrus-yellow foliage from spring to fall
• Clusters of fragrant white flowers in May
• Lower growing, compact form
• Easily trimmed into borders and low hedges
• Tough, reliable and deer-resistant

Grow the Chardonnay Pearls® Deutzia in full sun, or in light partial shade. Lower light levels turn the leaves lime green – a still-attractive coloring. It grows readily in any ordinary garden soil, preferring well-drained soils that are still rich and adequately watered. Established plants are moderately drought tolerant. It is normally free of pests and ignored by deer. Trim after flowering as needed.
