Perhaps it is because many Deutzias can reach 10 ft. or more in height that we rarely see them in urban gardens. Yet there are many of these shrubs that would be right in scale in these smaller gardens. Deutzia setchuenensis var. corymbiflora tops out at about six feet in height and would be a terrific gray green leafy backdrop for summer perennials and small shrubs. In the late spring, let it take center stage with its four-inch corymbs of cup-shaped white flowers. This variety is noted for its heavy flowering. After the leaves fall, the shaggy peeling bark of the branches serves as a feature in the winter garden.
