Yuki Cherry Blossom Deutzia (Deutzia x 'NCDX2') is a compact, deciduous flowering shrub known for its soft pink, bell-shaped blooms and elegant mounding form. Bred for beauty and performance, this Proven Winners� selection brings reliable spring interest and refined structure to borders, mass plantings, and foundation areas.
