Feed during spring with a balanced fertiliser to support vigorous growth and abundant blooms. This hardy shrub tolerates frost well and suits a wide range of garden conditions.

Deutzia 'Nikko' care tips

Deutzia 'Nikko' is relatively easy to care for and requires only light maintenance once established. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy compact shape and encourage vigorous new growth for the following season. Water during prolonged dry periods, especially while plants are becoming established. Feed during spring with a quality fertiliser to support healthy foliage and flowering performance. Annual mulching helps improve soil quality and conserve moisture. Remove old or damaged stems as needed to maintain plant vigour and appearance.
