Deutzia × hybrida ‘Strawberry Fields’ in 1 Gallon Pot

Description

Deutzia × hybrida ‘Strawberry Fields’ is a deciduous shrub known for its profusion of star-shaped flowers that transition from deep pink buds to pale pink or white blooms. Flowering occurs from late spring to early summer, typically in May and June. The shrub reaches a mature height and spread of approximately 1.5 to 2.5 meters (5 to 8 feet), forming a bushy, upright habit with arching branches.​ Hardy in USDA zones 5 through 8, ‘Strawberry Fields’ thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soils but is adaptable to a range of soil types, including chalk, clay, loam, and sand. Regular pruning after flowering encourages bushier growth and maintains the plant’s shape. This cultivar is also known for attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Its striking blooms and graceful form make it suitable for borders, shrub beds, or as a standalone specimen.
