Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Deutzia scabra Family: Hydrangeaceae Author: Thunb. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 3 Mature Width: 2 Habitat: Scrub and woodland edges in most areas of Japan[58].
Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, it tolerates most soils but prefers a moist well-drained fertile humus-rich soil with shade from the early morning sun when grown in areas with late frosts[11, 200]. Prefers a sunny sheltered position, it can be grown on a woodland edge[184]. Tolerates a limey soil[11].
Dormant plants are hardy to about -20°c[184]. The young growth, however, is subject to damage by late frosts and so a suitable position with shelter from early morning spring sunshine is best.
A very ornamental plant[1], it is the best and most reliable species in this genus for growing in Britain[11]. A number of cultivars have been developed for their ornamental value[182].
Flowers are produced on the previous seasons wood[182]. Flowering can be increased by thinning the old shoots after flowering[188].
A very polymorphic plant[58].
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
