DEUTZIA DOUBLE Candidissima Temperate Live Plant Doubled Snow White Flower Bough Drought Tolerant Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emerald R

There are over 60 types of Deutzia that range from low growing small dense growing upright shrubs to taller loose and flowing types. This one is the latter.

Candidissima will mature at about 6' to 8' tall and has a loose open arching growth habit. The doubled flowers appear in the late spring in the deep south and in the early to mid summer in the colder zones, and appear as dense snow white doubled boughs of panicles at and near the ends of the branches. It is very showy in full bloom, and makes an excellent cut flower. The look of the plant in full bloom is very lush and opulent.

This particular species of deutzia is fully decidous in zones 5 to 7. It will enter dormancy in warmer climates, but remains evergreen. Some literature sources do not rate it as hardy south of zone 8 due to concerns with heat, however, mine has done very well with little care, so I am fully confident that this cultivar can be grown in Zone 9 as well.
