Description
The Deutzia gracilis Nikko is a small deciduous flowering bush with a compact habit due to its branched growth. It is one of the best Deutzia cultivars. In May-June, it produces erect clusters of multiple bell-shaped, fragrant, white flowers which measure up to 15cm (5.9in) long.
The vegetation of Deutzia gracilis is abundant. Its foliage is silver-green during flowering and turns wine-red in autumn, which gives the bush a very decorative effect. The leaves have a short petiole and crenate edges and measure 6cm (2.4in) long.
The Deutzia belongs to the Hydrangea family (formerly Saxifragaceae), recognizable by its upright stems, opposite leaves with stiff hairs, and corymbs or panicles of flowers.
A bit out of fashion, survivors from old gardens, deutzias and especially the gracilis are among those almost indestructible bushes that require little effort but provide a lot of satisfaction to the gardener. The Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko' is a horticultural selection with a more compact habit than the species, slow-growing, with remarkable foliage in autumn. Derived from the Asian species gracilis, it remains very hardy and likes moist and deep soils exposed to partial shade or full sun. It adapts well to dry gardens with good mulching. Its flowering is not damaged by rain. It can reach a height of 1m (3ft 4in) at maturity.
With its abundant flowering, it can be used as a standalone in a large pot and in borders, in a sunny rockery, alongside perennial plants, or as a hedge. It is an excellent ground cover plant. Combine it with 'Anthony Waterer' spireas and dwarf weigelas like 'Polka', with ground cover roses or with perennials like 'Orion' Geranium.

Planting and care
The Deutzia gracilis Nikko prefers a sunny location, but you can also grow it in partial shade. Plant it in well-drained ordinary soil, even if it's limestone. Water regularly and moderately. After flowering in spring, remove half of the oldest branches, and prune the bush to encourage the growth of young branches. Easy to grow, this bush is disease-resistant and requires little maintenance.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
