Flush with blooms each spring, this charming shrub looks stunning when planted as an edging, ground cover, or on a slope.  It’s an improved version of the classic ‘Nikko’ that blooms longer and has far more flowers. Crisp white, bell-shaped blooms contrast with handsome green foliage. This heavy-bloomer is also deer resistant and low-maintenance, making it perfect for beginner and experienced gardeners alike!

How to Grow

Soil: Plant in any well-drained spot. Can take some dryness, but blooms last longest if it does not dry out in spring.
Light: Full sun (6+ hrs/day) is best; part shade (4-6 hrs/day) is okay, especially in warmer areas.
Water: Average
Space: Min. 2' apart
Fertilizing: Little fertilizer is needed.
Winterizing: No special treatment is required; 2-3" of mulch is recommended.
Maintenance & Pruning: Blooms on old wood, which means that any pruning should be done after bloom. If plants become thin and scraggly, cut back to just a few inches high after bloom for a flush of lush new growth.

Celebrate Cherry Blossom Season At Home

Ornamental cherries are beloved worldwide for their blooms and beauty. Whether you celebrate it by attending a festival (physically or virtually) or you celebrate it in your very own garden, with spring upon us, it’s time to ring in cherry blossom season.

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.

So far all is good

I ordered several plants. They arrived as scheduled, were packaged well and all were is good condition. I was impressed with the plants…even tho they were small quart size plants. They were well rooted in their pots so very little soil was missing from around the plants. That was an issue I was having with another company that was up potting and shipping before they were rooted in so the plants were arriving with more soil in the bottom of the box and bare roots exposed. I gave the plants a couple of days to recover from shipping, planted them and so far they all seem to be doing well.

Candy for deer

Unfortunately, the deer ate the deutzia down to the nubs 😢

We're sorry that the deer enjoyed your plants before you could. Young plants are especially susceptible to deer damage. We highly recommend spraying a liquid deer repellant for gardeners in areas with high deer traffic. Please send photos of your plants to [email protected]. Rest assured, we have a guarantee on all our plants. Our fall guarantee covers plants received after September 1 until May 2024! If you received your plants within that time frame, we would happily apply your warranty once we receive the pictures. Happy Gardening!

Hearty Plants

Packaging was awesome. It’s only been about a month but all of the plants have started to show new growth and have endured some consistently hot temperatures right from the beginning. Plenty of water and they’re doing well.

So Far So Good

These nice little plants came delivered looking really healthy and green. We planted them after a few days to adjust around a service berry and so far they are doing well in our current drought conditions in the Midwest. Some have even flowered and I can't wait until next Spring to see them mature.
It's the first time I have ordered online from a nursery and it turned out to be a good experience.

Are they evergreen? Thanks

Great Garden Plants

No, Yuki Snowflake deutzia is deciduous and loses its leaves in winter, even in mild climates.
