Plant description
A very pretty flowering shrub, that will add late spring and early summer colour to the border with its pretty clusters of pink and white star-shaped flowers. These are sought-after by pollinating insects including bees and may have a light scent.
Once established Deutzia Prettistars Pink Cloud is quite easy to look after and as it does not get too big, it can be grown in a large patio pot.

How to care for Deutzia Prettistars Pink Cloud:
Plant in well-drained, moisture-retentive soil in sun or light shade. For pots, use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No.3, with good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Water newly planted shrubs regularly until established, and keep container-grown plants watered during dry spells.
Tip-prune young plants in spring by pinching out soft shoot tips or cutting back longer growth by a third to encourage a bushy shape. After flowering, cut back spent flowered stems to a strong, healthy bud. Remove about a quarter of the oldest stems at the base to promote new growth and keep the shrub compact. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support good flowering and healthy foliage.

Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
