If fun foliage color is what you are looking for, you may consider Deutzia Chardonnay Pearls®. The charming chartreuse green foliage brightens up any garden or landscape. The more sun it gets the brighter, more interesting the color. Chardonnay Pearls® produces clusters of white flowers in the spring that are preceded by strings of ‘Pearls’ that last for weeks just waiting to explode.

In General, Deutzia are a compact shrub reaching between 1 and 3 foot depending on the variety. They are great for use as a border, ground cover, or in container combinations. Their season of color is extended beyond the spring when they bloom, into the summer and fall with interesting foliage colors. Planted in a full sun location is where Deutzia are most happy, but will tolerate part shade, just don’t expect as many blooms and the intense foliage color.
