Deutzia gracilis 'Variegata' is a delightful variety, well suited for decorating balconies, patios, and small spaces. This small deciduous bush, with a compact habit, is very bright from spring to autumn and is covered in a multitude of small pure white bell-shaped flowers in late spring. It is hardy, easy to grow, undemanding in terms of soil, and ideal for beginner gardeners. Whether in a large border, a small hedge, or in a container, this deutzia will not disappoint!
Deutzia gracilis 'Variegata' belongs to the Hydrangeaceae family. It is a beautiful yellow variegated form of the classic Deutzia gracilis, native to Japan. This compact and deciduous bush typically reaches a height of 1m (3ft) with a spread of 80cm (32in), depending on growing conditions. It has spreading slender branches that become arching over time. Its foliage appears in spring and falls in autumn. The leaves are oblong lanceolate, slightly toothed, and measure 3 to 7cm (1 to 3in) long. The young leaves are a bright yellow, while the older ones are randomly variegated with creamy-yellow on a light green background. This foliage makes the bush attractive even outside the flowering period. The abundant flowering occurs in May or June, earlier or later depending on the climate. At its peak, the flowers almost completely cover the foliage. The flowers are small, bell-shaped, and white, measuring 2cm (1in) long. They are arranged in upright clusters 6 to 8cm (2 to 3in) long. Slightly fragrant, they attract pollinating insects. The deciduous foliage is absent in winter.
Deutzia gracilis 'Variegata' is an adaptable bush that can thrive in various climates. It is mainly used in shrub borders but also in low hedges, along with berberis, dwarf mock oranges like 'White Rock', weigelas, or even shrub roses. Its small size and decorative appearance make it suitable for container cultivation to adorn a large balcony or patio. In this usage, it can be compared to the 'Apple Blossom' Mexican orange, for example.
Somewhat outdated, deutzias (especially D. gracilis) are survivors of old gardens. They are almost indestructible bushes that require little effort but provide a great deal of satisfaction to the gardener.
Tips: Protect Deutzia gracilis 'Variegata' from north winds, which can affect its flowering. Late frosts result in the production of very small flowers. Its variegated foliage prefers slightly shaded areas during the hottest hours of the day.

Botanical data
Deutzia gracilis 'Variegata' is very easy to cultivate, as it is perfectly hardy (-20°C (-4°F)) and grows wherever the soil is deep and well-drained. In a sunny (not scorching) or semi-shady exposure, it can be planted from November to April and will need regular watering for the first two summers, especially if it is hot and dry. It becomes quite drought-resistant with age and reaches its adult size in 5 or 7 years. It is resistant to diseases.
Every year after flowering, prune back the faded branches just above a bud and as close to the stump as possible. Remove 1/3 of the old branches at their base.

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).
