Yuki Kabuki® Deutzia
Deutzia x ‘NCDX3’ USPP 36,667
Lighten your spring workload with Yuki Kabuki® Deutzia, a beautiful, low-maintenance shrub that delivers reliable color without the need for pruning. In spring, a mass of tiny pink and white blooms covers the plant, creating a soft, airy display. As temperatures cool, the foliage transforms into a tide of rich fall color, giving you two strong seasons of interest.
With its naturally mounded habit, Yuki Kabuki® maintains a tidy shape on its own. Its compact size makes it perfect for mixed borders, edging, containers, or low hedges.
