This billowy, large shrub is ideal for use as a background plant in the mixed border. As the name Deutzia scabra 'Variegata' suggests, the leaves are variegated in a mottled pattern - pure white tracery against dark green, somewhat puckered leaves. In early summer, 3-6 inch panicles laden with small, star-shaped flowers grace the shrub. The flowers are honey-scented. Occasionally, there are stems that have reverted to all-green, cut these out to maintain the attractive variegation.
