Deutzia × hybrida 'Strawberry Fields'
deutzia strawberry fields
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.
