Synonym(s) Deutzia 'Magician' Family hydrangeaceae Life cycle shrub (Z5) Flowers lilac (late spring) Size to 8' Light sun-part shade Cultural notes ordinary garden soil This hybrid deutzia came to our garden in fall 2002, and has since established itself as one of the best flowering shrubs in our garden - I'm surprised deutzia isn't as well known as forsythia, lilac, or weigela. As we like ours quite a bit, I think we'll be trying some other cultivars. Its flowers have become more abundant with the years, and are worth inspecting up close as well as in mass from a distance. Fall foliage is not knock-m-dead stunner, but it colors up to an eye-pleasing orange

Cute little stars on the buds

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston.
