Deutzia 'COMPACT PARADISE'

In 2020 American company Proven Winners^® introduces a stunning compact new deutzia provisionally called Compact Paradise. It is very similar to successful varieties YUKI CHERRY BLOSSOM and YUKI SNOWFLAKE but produces incredible amount of flowers.

Compact Paradise is a unique deutzia producing its flowers in conical panicles, similar to those of buddleja (butterfly bush). They are about 15 cm long and composed of tiny, creamy white flowers decorated with numerous yellow pistils. They open from the first decade of June for 3-4 weeks. It is best to remove spent inflorescence just after flowering to prevent from producing unsightly seed pods. Meanwhile new and long shoots may appear and damage the plant’s compact and mounding appearance – cut them off as soon as they are produced. Deciduous leaves are narrowly elliptic, 6-8 cm long, mid green.

Deutzias are quite soil adaptable and will grow in sun or part shade, too, but will thrive in full sun and evenly moist soil. This one is great for larger rockeries or in cottage gardens. Fully hardy to about -30 °C (USDA zone 5) and possibly withstands down to -34 °C.
