Deutzia gracilis is very popular short bush, about 2-5 feet, very hardy, USDA Zones 5-8.  Full sun to partial shade area.  Pretty trouble free.  White flowers in spring.

Deutzia x kalmiiflora is pink flowered, larger shrub (4-6 feet).  Quite a show when it blooms in spring!

Deutzia crenata ‘Nikko’ is popular with its dwarf rounded shape, size is about 2 feet.  Deutzia in fall foliage will change from green to purple.

春天開白花或粉紅色小花的灌木.  有的種類是矮性的約2呎高及寬幅,有的可達6呎,事實上我看過有到8呎的.. 容易栽種,非常強健,以栽種在全日照為佳.
