Deutzia × hybrida 'Strawberry Fields'
deutzia strawberry fields
Deutzia × hybrida 'Strawberry Fields' is 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 it 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 × hybrida Strawberry Fields:
Plant in well-drained, moisture-retentive soil in sun or light shade. 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.
