Deutzia monbeigii explained

Deutzia monbeigii, the Monbeig's deutzia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae that is native to Southwest China.[1] [2]

This plant, originally from the northwest of Yunnan, China, was introduced by George Forrest in 1920. He initially collected it in November 1917, and then again in July 1921.[3] [4]

Growing to 1.2m (03.9feet), it has ovate, pointed, toothed leaves, and bright pink or white, star-shaped flowers in early to midsummer. In cultivation in the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It should be grown in moist but well-drained soil under full sunlight or partial shade. It can be propagated using softwood cuttings during summer.
